My Business - My Village
The “My Village, My Business” initiative empowers women by fostering financial independence, addressing their reliance on male family members for economic support. This program encourages women to establish local businesses, cultivating self-reliance and economic stability within their communities.
Targeting women from low-income families, we provide comprehensive support for launching their businesses, including seed funding, branding, marketing, market research, mentorship, government scheme navigation, and exposure opportunities. The process involves mobilizing aspiring women entrepreneurs, followed by thorough selection, training in entrepreneurship, and provision of seed grants for essential toolkits. We further assist in branding, creating market linkages, and providing ongoing mentorship, with regular evaluations to ensure success.
With an impressive success rate exceeding 98%, and an average startup cost below ₹30,000, PURE India Trust has supported over 75 different types of businesses, achieving profit margins between 40-60%. Our initiative impacts more than 10,000 individuals annually, supporting women, youth, and persons with disabilities in earning sustainable livelihoods and securing the respect they deserve.
