Lessons Learnt from Implementing Women-Centered Initiatives in India
S4S Technologies was one of the first businesses supported through the POWERED programme, established to create a scalable model which could create sustainable livelihood opportunities for women farmers.
S4S Technologies is a food tech company that uses solar dehydration technology to produce dehydrated vegetables which it then sells on to a range of B2B and B2C consumers. Currently, S4S works with over 2,700 women farmers who, through using S4S technology can increase their income, reduce farm level losses and create value-added products.
A report has now been produce detailing the key achievements that S4S has accomplished through the POWERED programme since 2018, as well as key learnings and challenges that it – and the market – continue to face as it looks to further integrate and support gender specific interventions.
The report features case studies of female micro-entrepreneurs who have benefitted through the POWERED programme and the impact that it has on their lives, as well as further areas where support can be provided.
