In Hindi, kinare means both the margin and the shore — the edge where one is pushed away, and the steady ground one returns to.
We exist to help women move from the former to the latter.
Who We Are
A nonprofit standing alongside small-scale entrepreneurs.
Kinare is a nonprofit organization that supports small-scale entrepreneurs in informal economies by providing access to capital, business mentorship, legal guidance, and opportunities for personal growth.
We believe that lasting economic mobility requires more than financial resources alone. By integrating personal development and conversations around consent, agency, and self-advocacy into our work, we help women build not only stronger businesses, but also the confidence, knowledge, and agency to shape their own futures.
Vision
We envision a world where talent and ambition, not geography, determine opportunity, and where every woman has the resources, confidence, and agency to shape her own future.
Mission
Our mission is to empower small-scale entrepreneurs in informal economies through access to capital, business mentorship, and personal development programs, helping them build sustainable businesses and create pathways to upward economic mobility.
