Female Microentrepreneurs Fighting Poverty with Clean Energy Through Pollinate Group

Power for All

How can women in India and Nepal be empowered as micro-entrepreneurs to combat poverty, promote gender equality, and increase access to renewable energy? In this episode, we speak with Sujatha Ramani from Pollinate Group. We discuss how this non-profit organization empowers female entrepreneurs, known as "Suryamukhi," by providing financing for life-changing products, including affordable clean energy technology. This initiative aims to improve the lives of underprivileged individuals living in slums and villages in India and Nepal. Pollinate Group's impact model addresses the global energy crisis by providing access to essential clean energy products while creating female micro-entrepreneurs to help tackle poverty. To date, this program has empowered more than 2,200 women and positively impacted over 802,000 people in their communities.
