Empowering Women Through Joint Ventures & Small Businesses

At Tanwodfunds, we are committed to transforming women into self-reliant entrepreneurs by supporting small businesses and community-based joint ventures. Many of the women we work with come from rural or economically disadvantaged backgrounds and have limited access to formal education or income sources. Through our programs, we help them tap into their natural creativity and skills to build sustainable livelihoods.

Some of the thriving ventures we support include:

Candle Making Units – using eco-friendly wax and handmade molds

Jute Bag Production – promoting reusable, sustainable alternatives

Tailoring & Stitching Centers – including school uniforms and custom garments

Handmade Soaps & Organic Products – chemical-free, locally made

Pickles, Papads & Traditional Snacks – packaged and sold under local brands

Home Decor & Handicrafts – from wall hangings to terracotta lamps

Recycled Craft Items – made from waste materials for eco-conscious markets

The Impact

Through these small businesses, women gain confidence, earn steady incomes, and contribute to their family’s well-being. Many even go on to train other women, creating a ripple effect of empowerment within their communities. Our focus is not just on economic upliftment, but also on building a supportive ecosystem of collaboration, dignity, and purpose.

Together, we’re proving that even the smallest idea can light up a household—and even a village—when given the right opportunity.
