Mann Desi Foundation:
In 1996, our founder Chetna Gala Sinha decided to set up the first rural bank for women. She was inspired by Kantabai, a welder from Mhaswad, Maharashtra who narrated an account of being repeatedly rejected by banks when she tried to set up a savings account.
The aim of the Mann Deshi Mahila Sahakari Bank was to address a lack of access to formal financial institutions and be a safe space for rural women to save their money.
The Mann Deshi Foundation supports the bank by addressing needs beyond financing. We work on building business skills and facilitating market access for women entrepreneurs as well as their communities.
Today, we work in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka. We aim to reach one million women by 2022
