We are excited to propose a project for your students to examine the feasibility of creating a social enterprise for revenue generation with a focus on sustainable livelihoods for women in Iran. Our goal is to create a platform where women in Iran can sell their goods and participate in wealth creation, while also ensuring that their livelihoods are sustainable through an ethical supply chain.

To complete this project, your students will need to conduct a critical analysis of a potential startup. This will involve researching the market, identifying potential customers and competitors, and analyzing the financial and social impact of the enterprise. In addition, they will need to consider the sustainability of the supply chain and how it can support the long-term livelihoods of the women involved.

This project aligns with UN SDG 5, which aims to "achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls."

The final deliverables should take the form of:

• Business plan/report
• any other course requirements

Providing access to resources and materials: we can provide students with access to relevant resources and materials related to the project
