The Kudumbashree Connection
Kudumbashree is a unique poverty-eradication program of the Government of Kerala, started in 1998. Today it has 4.5 million women members organized into 2.7 lakh Neighbourhood Groups (NHGs). The Sthree Shakthi lottery directly funds many of these groups' micro-loan programs, women-led enterprises, and skill training.
So every Sthree Shakthi ticket isn't just a chance to win — it's an investment in women's economic independence across Kerala.
