Impact Stories
Bhavna
I have doing beadwork provided by the Desai Foundation Trust. I was unemployed before this. Since I learned this skill, I now earn at least Rs. 3000 per month. This is very helpful to support my children’s education, and I also have enough to buy things for myself. Earning for myself is the best feeling.
Bhumika Tandel
Bhumika Tandel attended a jewelry making workshop at Shantaben Vidhyabhavan during her school vacation. After attending this workshop, she bought materials from the market and started making earrings for herself and her family.
People liked Bhumika’s earrings so much that they are putting in orders with her. Now she makes her pocket money through this skill.
Nita
Nita is from Olgam village of Valsad region. She completed the highest degree to become a higher secondary teacher but she did not find a job worthy of her skills, so she joined the candle and diya making workshop. She started earning money selling her diyas and candles. Apart from this she also farms to serve her family.
