Photos taken in an area of northern West Bengal, India several hours outside of the town Siliguri. Many of the women photographed were part of microcredit and self-help groups in the area. Our visit also included time at a tea garden talking with the tea pickers about their wages and situation.

We were amazed at the confidence, pride and accomplishments of the women in self-help and micro-credit groups. Truly an inspiration.
