Distribution built on trust
Self-help group networks give women-led ventures a distribution advantage that would take a conventional startup years and considerable capital to build. Products move on trust and repeat relationships rather than on advertising.
The constraints are structural, not entrepreneurial
Limited land titles in their own name means limited collateral. Care responsibilities compress the working day. Travel to district offices and banks is expensive in both time and money. Our support therefore includes documentation help, bank liaison and cluster-level services rather than only training.
Designing for the constraint
Shared processing infrastructure, doorstep documentation camps and milestone-based grants that do not require collateral have proven more effective than any single classroom module.
