Women-owned rural enterprise federation
Hareli Foundation
Hareli is building a women-owned federation across the tribal belt of Eastern India, combining village institutions, producer enterprises, leadership development and community-owned manufacturing.
Business profile
Enterprise development anchored in local ownership.
Hareli's model combines institution-building with commercial development. Village-level organisations, producer enterprises and manufacturing capability are intended to reinforce one another rather than operate as isolated projects.
The longer-term proposition is a federation structure in which women retain meaningful ownership and participation across enterprise, leadership and local economic development.
