About
§ 01 · The founder
First-person. To be written by Rehaan.
[ PLACEHOLDER — Rehaan to write the founder's story. The lines below are a suggested skeleton, not final copy. ]
[ Open with Shampa — who looked after you from the time you were born — and how you came to understand, over years, how little room the financial system had left her: no account fully her own, nowhere safe for what she saved. ]
[ The turn: deciding to really understand it, and interviewing her over weeks — the questions you'd never thought to ask, and what the answers revealed (a complete system missing only access, not knowledge). ]
[ How that became a curriculum, and the first two workshops in Baruipur — what facilitating taught you, and what surprised you in the room. ]
[ Why Bandhan matters, why the CRP model matters (the work staying in the community), and where you want this to go next. Keep it first-person and personal. ][ PLACEHOLDER PROSE ]
§ 02 · Vision & mission
[ Suggested — refine in your own words: The Prosperity Project exists so that people navigating finance without formal access have the tools, and the confidence, to navigate it on their own terms. ]
§ 03 · Organizations
The institutions the work is built with.
Delivery partner · West Bengal
Bandhan-Konnagar brings the halls, the relationships on the ground, and the trust that lets a workshop open with a cohort already in the room; Bandhan Bank Ltd supports the work. We bring the curriculum, the training, and the textbook. The partnership is in its second year, with the current cohort still in follow-up.
