pollinate group

official non-profit partner of yale mun south asia

Yale Model United Nations South Asia is proud to partner with Pollinate Group, a leading non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women and transforming the lives of families living in urban slum communities across South Asia. Pollinate Group identifies, trains, and supports local women entrepreneurs who distribute life-improving products such as solar lights, clean cookstoves, and water filters to households without reliable access to basic services.

Since its founding, Pollinate Group has impacted over 800,000 people across India and Nepal by providing affordable, sustainable solutions that improve health, safety, and financial stability. Their work not only addresses energy poverty and inequality but also promotes entrepreneurship and gender equity by equipping women with the skills and resources needed to lead change in their own communities.

Through this partnership, Yale MUN South Asia aims to connect delegates’ policy discussions with real-world development efforts, demonstrating how local action and innovation can drive meaningful progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. Together, YMUN South Asia and Pollinate Group strive to inspire the next generation of leaders to think critically, act compassionately, and pursue solutions that empower communities from the ground up.
