Naangal Eyaaigal Aanal Enetror

Ela Bhatt, known as the "gentle revolutionary," is a social entrepreneur, who has dedicated her life to improving the lives of India's poorest and most oppressed citizens. Witnessing the terrible conditions faced by women working as weavers, stitchers, cigarette rollers, and waste collectors, Ela Bhatt began helping these women to organize themselves. In 1972, Ela Bhatt founded the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA) to bring poor women together and give them ways to fight for their rights and earn better livings. We Are Poor but So Many is a first-hand account of the vision, rise, and success of SEWA, in India as well as internationally. It follows with an account of the struggles and challenges that SEWA faced in its journey and describes how these were addressed and overcome.
