What is poverty?
● The state of being extremely poor
● Not having enough money to meet basic needs
including food, clothing and shelter
● Lack of education, jobs and access to healthcare
● A situation everyone wants to avoid
How does poverty affect the
world?
● Almost half the world’s population, 3 billion people, live
on less than US $2.50 a day, and more than 1.3 billion
live in extreme poverty, and live on less than $1.25 a
day.
● 22,000 children die each day due to poverty, according
to UNICEF.
Who is our social entrepreneur?
● Sucharita Eashwar
● Head of WeConnect International India
Who is Sucharita Eashwar?
● She faced family issues, and at some time faced the
prospect of being a single mother after deciding to opt
out of her marriage
● She needed to generate more income to bring up both
her children
● Switched careers and joined an IT startup in 2000
Who is Sucharita Eashwar?
● In 2006, she joined NASSCOM where she headed three
special initiatives for the IT and BPO industries in India:
NASSCOM Product Initiative, NASSCOM Diversity and
Inclusion Initiative, NASSCOM Mentorship Program.
● She wanted to empower women economically
What did she do?
● She joined WeConnect International India in 2011
● WeConnect International India works with businesses
that have at least 51% of shares owned by women
● WeConnect connects them to the corporate members of
WeConnect
● She makes a difference to women entrepreneurs
Lessons Learnt From The Project
● Steadfastness, as Sucharita did not give up after the
setback of becoming a single mother
● Not to take what we have for granted (eg. financial
stability)
● We should help the less fortunate that are in need of
help, and make a difference to those around us.
