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
