Her situation was very grave as the family lived as tenant and she being the sole breadwinner of the family. She is quite smart, proactive and easy to grasp any new learning’s at the Sukarya Center. She understands the importance of education and wants her children to attend a regular school, for which she expressed an urge for a full time work. Her main interest areas are processing, documentation and marketing modules at the Sukarya Institutional Training sessions. She is now working at the Sukarya Spice and Cereal Processing Unit(SCPU) for the full day. She mentioned “We can’t speak our mind and are invisible in the society but it is not difficult to break this barrier. I am happy and confident now.”
Sukarya’s women’s economic empowerment programme helps disadvantaged women to save money, access microcredit, engage in economically viable activities and become agents of change in their communities. There has been a substantial progress during this quarter as productions as well as sales of the manufactured products have been consolidated and strengthened.
