Roka aims to use business and education to empower women and break the poverty cycle in rural India. It does this through collaboration between village women, universities, and corporations to design and sell jewelry. This shared effort divides the work and multiplies success. Rather than traditional charity, Roka takes a social business approach where money is made and social impact is achieved.
