Hiring: Assistant Project Manager SEWA Cooperative Federation, Gujarat About Us SEWA Cooperative Federation’s history can be traced back to the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) struggle for workers’ rights. After its inception in 1972, SEWA has worked actively to promote the rights of women working in the informal economy.

These 106 cooperatives are in 6 sectors of the informal economy – agriculture, animal husbandry, services, savings and credit, production, and vending. The Federation has helped to incubate these cooperatives, support them to become economic viability and decision-making processes. It has also brought technical expertise to the grassroots women to help them become sustainable.
