What Made This Project A Reality?
Questions with statistical insights such as
"How to include over 15 million women-owned enterprises in the global market? How to rejuvenate the businesses for rural women entrepreneurs in this pandemic ?"
Poor Visibility -
Due to lack of mobility and connectivity, often the rural women entrepreneurs are forced to sell their produce/services within the local community and therefore have very limited demand, seasonal demand and are not able to command the best possible price. Design a solution which can enable them to make their service/product visible and available to a wider audience.
Absence Of Mentoring -
Even once a rural woman sets up an enterprise, she needs constant mentoring to overcome day to day business challenges as well as to keep herself motivated. A mentor can also support to ensure that no other stakeholder is taking undue advantage of her by squeezing margins or cutting corners. Design a solution to enable mentor connect to rural women entrepreneurs and where do we get a pool of these mentors who can connect, understand, appreciate challenges and provide non judgemental inputs.
Lanterns, What Is It?
