Organization Details
POWERSOUTH
PowerSouth offers professional services to instate women in management and ownership roles at local projects in countries like India.
For carbon market actors and investors – we help you achieve climate action and gender justice by increasing the number of SDG 5 elements in your projects. This will enhance carbon credits towards gender empowerment making women project protagonists and not just beneficiaries.
For companies investing in CSR – we will add value to your corporate communication at the local level by employing the SDG 5 lens framing the gender narrative and sharing stories and lessons to herald your company as a true gender champion.
Impact Story
PowerSouth was conceptualised on the basis that more needs to be done to connect local and grassroots organisations (with a gender and marginalised community lens) in India to resources and funds from Germany.
Since late 2021, Diya Deb and Tasneem Balasinorwala have been working on different projects under the banner of PowerSouth. Given the team’s experience in India and elsewhere in the global south, they are keenly aware that the reality of resource ownership, and agency of women continues to be weak.
For local women to count in the environment and in the climate narrative for the work they are already doing, PowerSouth strongly believes that it is about time that women are not just looked upon as beneficiaries but are made co-owners or co-managers of the projects.
That is PowerSouth’s key driver.
