Women Power will be a
brand which will be exclusively selling women made products through a unique
E-commerce platform. The women entrepreneurs developed by a NGO can become a
member in this platform and display their products and sell their products
directly to the customer.
Rural women are key agents for
development. They play a catalytic role towards achievement of transformational
economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable
development. But limited access to credit, health care and education are among
the many challenges they face. These are further aggravated by the global food
and economic crisis and climate change. Empowering them is essential, not only
for the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also for
overall economic productivity, given women’s large presence in the agricultural
workforce worldwide.
Also Women Power
understands the importance of entrepreneur education among university students
and has proposed to develop Business Incubator Centers which organizes various
production/assembling exercises in colleges. These exercises calls for
triggering the innovative skills with the university students and brings out
quality products in to the market. The university professors acts a catalyst to

WOMEN POWER -
Empowering Women
While women, especially in the rural areas, are
enthusiastic to convert their skills into tangible items like arts and crafts,
handicrafts, everyday consumables, healthcare, etc, they do not have
direct access to customers. This need is what Women Power will fulfill. Women
Power will develop entrepreneurs, through NGOs and will be a brand which will
exclusively sell these women-made products.
