Media keeps reforming us of the work of mothers' groups in various places for social reforms. Mothers' group was first established two decades ago by the Gurung community of western Nepal. Concerned first to organize traditional cultural programmes together by the women of Lahure family, mother's group extended its programmes gradually to other social work.
The women here have formed an organization to bring about development in Sikles village. They have been doing various works in many sectors. The group keep their village neat and clean with the help provided by the Village Development Commitee. They clean their village, repairs roads, keep dustbins at various places to dispose off the dirt and waste. The group also constructs public toilets and keeps them clean. Because of the social service provided by the women's organization Ama Samuha people of their village no longer disturb the place of the society by indulging in bad habit of drinking alcohal and gambling. The organization has started this campaign to save the youths from the addiction which is increasing rapidly. This women's group has decided that people who go against the campaign will be publicly disgraced and made to apologize publicly. the group helps the villagers when they are sick and are in trouble.
The group is also running a child care center with the help of Annapurna Conservation Area Project(ACAP). Similarly, the group has also been providing education to the adults. A portion of women are now able to read and write. The mother's group of sikles is a good example of the saying "Unity is Strength."
