Powering Peoples’
Progress
We believe that progress does not promise that all aspects of life will improve at the same time or at the same rate and that there could be many ways to help people tackle and solve challenges.

SRIJAN
Fuel Her Ambition, Spark Transformation
Women entrepreneurs face various barriers while pursuing economic opportunities. These barriers can be attributed to the gender gap in labour trends, a nation-wide digital divide, gender biases, and the inability to complete primary and secondary education which results in professional incompetence. Accessing finance for their business pursuits poses the biggest challenge to women, due to their limited ownership of property posing a lack of collateral, discriminatory lending practices, and lack of preparedness to avail formal credit.
The Srijan Program aims to bridge this gap in financing to facilitate a wave of credit-worthy, independent businesswomen. For this very purpose, we have leveraged an innovative financial instrument called a Returnable Grant.
