Ultimately, ASA's 'Self-reliant Development Model' is only successful if its beneficiaries become self-reliant themselves. To achieve this, a beneficiary needs to continuously invest and re-invest in small businesses for 10 years or more in order to accumulate adequate funds and participate in group meetings in order to firmly establish a sense of self-worth. Keeping in mind the long-term impact of ASA's development initiative, the organization concentrates on bringing changes in the behavioral pattern of the beneficiaries.

ASA concentrates on two region for scaling up the confidence levels of rural disadvantaged women. One area is motivation for self-development through leadership roles performed by the group members themselves. The other is the creation of a suitable environment for the realization of self-development and a rise in standard of living through life-centered education sessions at group meetings.

Through this process, the initial and subsequent investments turn overconsiderable profits leading to a quite stable long-term economic position for the investor, and overall living conditions improve remarkably. Savings over 5 years along with the accumulated profits as a supplement to the main family income goes a long way in achieving family self-reliance.
