About

UMM is an apex federation of women SHGs established in 2005, registered under Uttrakhand self-reliant cooperative act 2003, to meet the financial service needs of the poor living in one of the most underserved areas of Uttrakhand. UMM's mandate has been to focus on solutions that provide direct socio economic improvement to the marginalized and low-income households. AT India and UMM work in a predominantly rural, hill-based economy. There are limited avenues to credit access and lack of sustainable livelihood sources in these regions.

Impact Narrative

The difficult terrain and extreme weather of Uttarakhand makes it an arduous task for the people of the state to access financial services. The partnership between Rang De and UMM works towards bridging this gap.
