• Women Entrepreneurs Program: Creating awareness about generating income through self-owned and managed enterprises among house-bound, frequently illiterate/semi literate women, motivating them to earn without relying on exploitative middle-men, helping them to come together as a group of co-owners to decide on a business for which they have some prior experience, skills or knowledge, training them in basic life skills, and relevant technical skills, and setting up production or retail enterprise are the initial steps in this program. Exposure visits, confidence building, market awareness, customer handling, quality control, accounting, negotiating skills, and continuous hand holding and mentoring are essential processes for helping build sustainable enterprises.
