Sakhi Social Enterprise Network

About us

Sakhi Social Enterprise Network (SSEN) was established by Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP), a learning and development organization through ‘self-education for empowerment’, bringing women and communities from the margin to the mainstream of development. The organization seeds entrepreneurship among underserved segments of society, through awareness, training and skill building programs.

Sustainability through self-reliance is SSEN’s watchword. Sakhi Social Enterprise Network runs two flagship programs that empower local communities to develop vocational skill sets and inculcate in rural women a spirit of entrepreneurship.

Currently operational in about 5 districts of Maharashtra, 2 districts of Gujrat, Tamil Nadu and Bihar. SSEN encourages women and trains them in setting up micro-business initiatives through its School for Rural Entrepreneurship – a (E-School) program, and provides viable job skills to youth and women who belong to the low-income group through its School for Vocational Training and Placements (V-School) Program.

Through its E-School program SSEN has trained over 6780 women and 1765 women and youth through its V-School program.
