Welcome to STREE

Kshamata Innovation Foundation (KIF) launched STREE (She Transforms Routine to Equitable Entrepreneurship), its flagship program to help strengthen women entrepreneurship by enabling homemakers and the like to contribute to their family incomes and become financially independent.

STREE is a unique initiative that supports women by helping them transform their ideas into sustainable businesses and providing them with livelihood-based entrepreneurship opportunities.

Since its inception in 2021, KIF has successfully completed 2 years of STREE by providing entrepreneurial support, knowledge and mentoring to help 200 women beneficiaries start their entrepreneurial journey.

STREE has also provided these budding women entrepreneurs with last mile connectivity support to ensure they received business orders for their products and services.
