About Sterlite Women Empowerment Project Sterlite Women Empowerment Project (SWEP) was conceived to help rural and coastal women become self confident and economically independent. It aims to promote family savings among self help groups (SHGs), which also allows them to take up projects that generate additional income for their families. Launched in March 2005, and engaged with NGOs as project partners, SWEP has inspired the forming of more than 1000 SHGs covering 15,000 rural women from the marginalised sections of society. From the time of its inception, more than 160 groups have taken up profitable income generation activities to raise additional income to families, and the combined savings of these SHGs today amounts to Rs.4.5 crore.
