About
Sterlite Women Empowerment Project
Sterlite Women
Empowerment Project (SWEP) was conceived to help rural and coastal women become
self confident and economically independent. It aims to promote family savings
among self help groups (SHGs), which also allows them to take up projects that
generate additional income for their families. Launched in March 2005, and engaged
with NGOs as project partners, SWEP has inspired the forming of more than 1000
SHGs covering 15,000 rural women from the marginalised sections of society.
From the time of its inception, more than 160 groups have taken up profitable
income generation activities to raise additional income to families, and the
combined savings of these SHGs today amounts to Rs.4.5 crore.

Forward–looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to
different degrees, uncertain. For us, uncertainties arise from the behaviour of
financial and metals markets including the London Metal Exchange, fluctuations
in interest and or exchange rates and metal prices; from future integration of
acquired businesses; and from numerous other matters of national, regional and
global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive
or regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results
to be materially different that those expressed in our forward-looking
statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.
