WHY SANGATNA
We believe that the success of our women entrepreneurs should be defined through the measurement of impact they are creating. Sangatna will work with them to measure the outcome of the impact they are creating. This helps understand how the organization is effecting change through social return on investment as well as allows us to measure the financial value of the impact.
​
This way, investors can see exactly where their investment is being deployed and how it positively affects one (or all) of our chosen impact areas.
