FROM SELF HELP GROUPS TO SELF EMPOWERED GROUPS. The Women of Goem is a brand that showcases a range of authentic and unique masala blends created by women of Self-Help Groups that represent the Hindu, Christian, Muslim and Tribal communities of Goa. These recipes go back hundreds of years and are handed down generations within their families and communities. By bringing these spice blends to you, we hope to bring about a change in these women’s lives by putting them on a path to social and financial independence, and expects to transform these Women Self-Help Groups to Women Self-Empowered Groups.
