Overview

"Suno Sunao: Empowering Urban Women through Accessible Digital Solutions" addresses the growing digital divide affecting urban women in India by providing an innovative AI-enabled application that delivers video content in local languages. This project aims to bridge the gap in access to crucial information on finance, healthcare, and education, thereby enhancing women's financial independence and access to public services. Suno Sunao, a Hindi phrase that means "hear and be heard", focuses on empowering underserved urban women and girls, ensuring they can navigate the digital landscape and improve their overall quality of life in India's rapidly changing urban environment. By fostering individual growth and creating a supportive community through technology-driven solutions, the project seeks to promote social and financial mobility and informed decision-making among its target audience. The anticipated outcomes include improved digital engagement, increased access to essential services, and the creation of a supportive network that transforms the lives of underserved urban women.
