SSP is de-risking agriculture and promoting women’s decision-making by encouraging organic cultivation of multiple indigenous food crops and livelihood diversification to ensure household health, nutrition and income security.
The Women-led Climate Resilient Farming (WCRF) model (also called as one acre farming model) transforms marginalized women farmers in climate-risk areas into resilient leaders, with better livelihoods and wellbeing by positioning them as agri-innovators and decision makers.
Entrepreneurship: SSP is fostering entrepreneurship training and leadership skills with the support of Sakhi Social Enterprise Network (SSEN), the training unit promoted by SSP, to give women the social capital to catapult into business leadership.
The initiatives provide access to seed fund capital and business expansion loans through banks and microfinance institutions such as Sakhi Samudaya Kosh (SSK); facilitating rural marketing, distributing by identifying new local business opportunities in health, clean energy, water, sanitisation; by facilitating dialogues between the women and local governments; and through enabling access to a robust network of grassroots entrepreneurs as a support system.
SSP is developing the entrepreneurship of rural women by education and marketing of clean energy solutions such as biogas cook stoves, solar products, vegetable (subjee) coolers, water conservation techniques, organic agri inputs, solar powered milk can chiller plants, etc. through public awareness programs in the community, while earning an income at the same time.
The partnership on Women’s Entrepreneurship in Clean Energy program (wPOWER India) funded by USAID has created 1000+ women entrepreneurs in Maharashtra and Bihar. Since 2016, supported by Misereor, this program is scaled up to more villages and built advanced capacities in women in Maharashtra and Bihar with more clean energy products and services.
