Rekha Didn't Wait for Change. She Became It. I SURE | Powering Livelihood

For years, Rekha's days were divided between her sewing machine and her family's farm, working hard, earning little, and dreaming of something more.
That changed when she joined SURE's training programme, where she learnt improved farming practices and essential health practices. She received knowledge of products related to these practices. But Rekha didn't keep that knowledge to herself.
She walked from home to home, spreading awareness in her village, talking to women about health, hygiene, and better ways to farm.
Then she went a step further. Rekha began helping women access sanitary napkins, breaking a silence that had lasted generations. She introduced them to products like hydroponics, showing that fresh, green fodder could grow with little water and no soil, even in drought-prone Latur.
And her courage paid off. In just 4 months, Rekha earned ₹38,000 in commission from product sales — income she built herself, on her own terms.
But ask Rekha what she's proudest of, and it isn't the money. It's the women who now come to her with questions, ideas, and dreams of their own.
One woman. One village. A ripple that's still spreading.

Sakhi Unique Resource Enterprise Pvt Ltd (SURE) is pleased to partner with Intellecap under the SPACES programme funded by Shell Foundation to pilot an innovative low energy post harvest onion storage solution developed by Trane Technologies.

As the grassroots implementation partner, SURE facilitated farmer engagement and supported the installation of the first onion storage unit at Kardelhi village, Solapur, with Mr. Pawar, an onion farmer from the region. Over the next two months, we will closely monitor and compare test and control units to evaluate the technology's effectiveness in reducing post-harvest losses, extending onion shelf life, and improving income outcomes for farmers and Sakhis

Our Sakhi network will also play a crucial role in creating awareness among farmers and sharing learnings from the pilot, helping communities make informed decisions about post-harvest management solutions.

This collaboration is an important step towards promoting sustainable, affordable, and farmer-centric innovations that strengthen rural livelihoods and reduce food losses.

At Sakhi Unique Resource Enterprise Pvt Ltd (SURE), our women leaders are not just leaders by title - they show through their work what dedication and hard work can achieve. One such example is Anjana Sharad Sable from Bhui Samudraga, Latur, who joined SURE in 2016 as a Sakhi, earning ₹700–1,000 a month. She went door to door, brought women together, and educated them on government schemes, organic farming, health, sanitation, and livelihoods. When she became a Supervisor in 2018, she was so hesitant that she would not visit the field without a family member by her side.

With SURE's trainings and mentorship, Anjana transformed. Today she works independently across three talukas as a Team Leader in the CCL initiative, covering more than thirty villages - and having joined with a 12th-standard education, she went on to complete her BSc in Agriculture along the way. Her work supports her children's education, her voice counts in family decisions, and she is respected across the villages she serves. Anjana is an inspiration for every rural woman who wants to learn, grow, and build a better future.
