In collaboration with UNICEF, we launched WaSH Mart, a pioneering initiative aimed at fostering rural entrepreneurship in the WASH sector. This first-of-its-kind project is being piloted in 14 Gram Panchayats in Vizianagaram District, Andhra Pradesh, and aligns directly with the objectives of the Swachh Bharat Mission.
By equipping local entrepreneurs with the resources and knowledge to provide essential WASH solutions, WaSH Mart is driving sustainable change and improving community well-being.
Our Impact
Our initiatives under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 focus on creating sustainable livelihoods and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in rural communities. By championing social entrepreneurship, we empower individuals—particularly in the WASH sector—to become self-reliant, economically independent, and catalysts for local development.
Through skill-building programs, access to resources, and market linkages, we help rural entrepreneurs establish and grow their businesses, driving long-term economic resilience. By nurturing innovation and enterprise, we are not only improving livelihoods but also contributing to stronger, more self-sufficient communities.
