Women’s cooperatives do not remain static. Over time, they are formed, stabilised, expanded, and sometimes revived after periods of difficulty. Each stage brings different questions on governance, leadership, and enterprise.

SCF works alongside cooperatives across all these stages, from formation to revival, across sectors as different as construction, cleaning, and agriculture.

The Kheda Women Farmers Cooperative has been through several of these stages. Its journey offers a clearer picture of what cooperative development looks like in practice.
