Many women are still not connected to digital solutions, healthcare infrastructure: Ajaita Shah, Founder & CEO, Frontier Markets
A lot of what was said earlier still applies to rural women. They are not connected to digital solutions, healthcare infrastructure. They live in 7,500 villages in India. All the barriers women have, these women have as well. Rural women have the challenge of infrastructure. Because of the lack of infrastructure in the capital, it is hard to reach. What has been interesting with working with 'Sahelis' is that they are ready for change. They have become health champions, social influencers. They have been saying, give us the opportunity to tackle self-care. We can bridge the gap. Our Sahelis are connected with self-help groups. 165 million women are part of this group. These women are saying, give me the tools, I have the technology.
