ARTH Sammelan 2021: An Ode to women in micro-businesses

Celebrating the progress of women is inspiring! On this women’s day, ARTH champions got rewarded for leading their families through their progressive micro-enterprising actions.

Back in 2016, Anjani started her entrepreneurial journey by setting up a stitching unit with a single sewing machine. With credit support from ARTH, Anjani began to operate this micro-business from home initially. With time, she was dedicated to expanding this unit to generate more revenue and employment opportunities for other women. Today, with the help of multiple cycles of credit, Anjani has converted this setup into a training center that is inclined towards skilling women that can further help them in geniting an added income.

As of 8th March 2021, Anjani’s stitching center accommodates 15 other women from Madiyaon who learn and practice various skills in stitching to support their families financially. Our resilient micro-entrepreneurs #choosetochallenge despite all the odds they experience in their daily lives.

Glimpse from the virtual ARTH Sammelan

The Sammelan of 2021 was hosted with the theme of rewarding women who have strengthened their livelihoods through their courage and determination. To recognize this spirit in women, ARTH Foundation honored the champions with ARTH Sanjeevani – Hospicash to secure the health of the women and their families. These women champions were selected for their good behavior and for supporting other under-resourced women.

It was a highly interactive platform that allowed the women champions from across all clusters of Bhiwadi, Ayodhya, Raebareli, and Lucknow to share their life-changing experiences with each other. Owing to the restrictions around COVID, ARTH Sammelan was hosted virtually this year with forums created on all centers that were then connected through a virtual call.

With a vision to empower underpenetrated households through welfare offerings, ARTH Foundation aims to support these families through its tech-driven initiatives for deeper customer connect. Owing to the recent uncertainties, health and security will continue to be one of the focus years for the year ahead.
