In a remote village located in Bardiya, Prativa lived a secluded life, seldom stepping beyond the confines of her home. She had embraced this existence with limited interaction within her community, unaware of the remarkable transformation awaiting her.
Prativa embarked on her entrepreneurial journey when Pollinate Group reached her village, presenting its vision of empowering women like Prativa. Intrigued by the opportunity, Prativa made a bold decision in August 2022 to join Pollinate and start her clean energy micro-enterprise.
With unwavering determination and the support of Pollinate’s skill-building training, Prativa’s micro business had been flourishing. She had been meticulously offering a diverse range of products distributed by Pollinate, gradually evolving into a confident entrepreneur. The community had recognized the quality of her offerings and had relied on her for their essential needs, elevating their overall quality of life as well as providing Pravita her own source of income.
In a twist of fate, Prativa’s husband had lost his job, leaving her as the sole breadwinner in the family. Her source of income had given her the power to make decisions in the family. Earning over 5,000/month through her thriving business, she had taken charge of all major decisions within her household. Prativa’s responsibilities had extended beyond providing for her physically challenged in-laws to ensuring her children’s education and well-rounded nutrition.

Prativa’s journey of empowerment didn’t stop there. Her remarkable sales achievements earned her a smartphone from Pollinate’s digital enablement initiative. Equipped with newfound digital skills, she had effortlessly engaged with customers, accepting orders seamlessly. Inspired by her progress, she had aspired to open a bank account, enabling her to access digital transactions—an essential goal from Pollinate’s digital enablement training and impact initiative.
Through Prativa’s dedication, her products have been bringing positive transformations to 25 households in her village. Her journey had echoed far and wide as she had inspired other women to break free from societal constraints and embrace their entrepreneurial endeavors.
Prativa’s story is just an example of the immense impact Pollinate Group has on empowering women and transforming lives. Together, we can continue uplifting communities and create a lasting change.
