Making Disciples vs Self Help Group App Usage & Stats

This is a facilitator guide for creating and mentoring a Self Help Group or savings group. It includes the following: * Training in basic facilitation methods and best practices; * How to work with a community to mobilize a Self Help Group; * Basic meeting curriculum from first meeting to a group giving their first loan; * Games, stories and case studies to supplement meeting material; * Sample templates accessible by email for facilitators to use as their record-keeping forms. The core curriculum has been adapted from the Self-Group Group model in India and includes content on group governance, group dynamics and record-keeping. There are also modules on social entrepreneurship, income-generating activities and disaster risk reduction in the community. The content is divided into units, modules and steps. Each module begins with a step for Facilitator Preparation outlining the key concepts and materials needed for the next meeting. A meeting checklist shares basic steps to cover during each meeting. Facilitators can log in using "facilitation mode" or "group mode." In "group mode," the app bookmarks where in the curriculum a meeting ended and resumes there the next time the group logs in. This digital resource has been co-designed by Self Help Group facilitators around the world.
