On the 14th of February 2009, nine grassroots women from four African nations arrived in Mumbai to begin a five day learning exchange in Maharashtra state, India. This exchange was facilitated and supported by Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP) and GROOTS International in order to encourage knowledge sharing and transfer of effective practices in health, community led HIV/AIDS initiatives, savings and credit groups, and livelihoods.

Through this exchange, the African participants learned about savings and credit activity, federation structures, and how to undertake various health and livelihood activities which counter climate change and disasters.
