From sunlight to self-reliance.
Surya Sakhi trains and employs women in Gujarat's villages to run solar dehydration units that turn fresh produce into shelf-stable foods using clean solar energy.
The drying line
Every product on this site passes through the same five steps — and every one of them happens inside a village, run by women.
Sunlight, not smoke
Solar collectors capture heat instead of burning wood, diesel or coal.
Fresh harvest arrives
Fresh produce is cleaned and sliced at the village unit.
Women run the solar dryers
Trained women operate the dryers and monitor every batch.
Packed with care
Dried products are graded, weighed and sealed for freshness.
Income stays local
Every packet sold supports the women who made it.

From sunlight to self-reliance
Empowering women and creating sustainable economic growth — one solar-powered village unit at a time.
We believe a woman shouldn't have to leave her village, her children, or her community to earn a dignified income. So instead of asking her to travel to the job, we bring the job — and the sun — to her.
