Greetings!
The
power of mobile as a potentially life changing tool is evident in
India
today. In many instances, access to health services, banking,
job
opportunities and educational tools have been made possible for the
first
time. With more than 300 million women mobile phone users, we want to
ensure
the availability of value added services at scale which enhance
women’s
lives and enable a better future.
The Vodafone
Foundation in association with the Digital Empowerment
Foundation introduces
the Women & Innovation for Mobile (WIN) Award. The
‘Win’ Awards seeks to
identify innovative mobile solutions which meet the
diverse needs of women
under the following categories:
- Education
- Healthcare &
Family
- Economic Empowerment & Entrepreneurship
The three
winning solutions will qualify for a funding grant of 44,00,000
INR to
further develop and scale their mobile innovation to serve and
benefit a
larger female user community.
Closing date for applications: October 25,
2011
