UF CHI and Prayas India have partnered to form a social business.  This partnership will link the U.S. based organization with one of India’s most highly regarded non-profit organizations.  The goal of the social business is to provide sustainable solutions for poverty, not one time fixes.  The social business gives impoverished women the ability to learn valuable life skills and make a living.  Besides extensive training and competitive salary, the women are also given the opportunity to take out microloans in the future.  Without something like this in place many would be forced to live in extreme poverty with little hope of breaking the cycle.  The business also has the added benefit of supporting itself:  all of the revenue goes back to the business for expansion and new initiatives.  It is certainly a social business for sustainable societal change.
