INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Sahakarita – SEWA Cooperative Federation’s bi-monthly digital publication. We work as a
Women’s Enterprise Support System, promoting and supporting grassroots women’s enterprises.
Through this digital publication, we bring to you our work, stories of our grassroots women’s collective
enterprises, their needs, and their contribution to the economy.
We lost our beloved founder, Elaben, in November. This volume is dedicated to celebrating her and the
rich legacy she has left the world. SEWA Cooperative Federation also celebrates 30 years since its
inception and we look back at our journey and our learnings
