Want to share with you all the testimony of one of the beneficiaries of Shoshana sewing centre - Giripuram, Vijayawada.


Ø  My name is Martha. 28yrs old. I am a school dropout. I am married and I have two daughters. My husband was an auto driver. He was an alcoholic and was not taking care of the family responsibilities. I use to work as a domestic helper. My children are still small kids and I couldn’t leave them alone and go to work.

 Because of his bad habits, my husband got paralyzed and is bedridden. All the family burdens fell on me. Besides that, I had to take care of my husband’s medical expenses which is extremely difficult for me. I was depressed and even thought of ending my life.


In this situation Ms. Hemima, instructor at Shoshana sewing centre, Giripuram, Vijayawada heard my story and encouraged me to join the sewing class. With her support I was able to finish the class and Shoshana provided me with a sewing machine to start working immediately after finishing the tailoring course.

 I opened my own shop at home and started working. Slowly my income started growing. I am able to earn 300 to 500 rupees per day depending on my orders. Since I am working at home it is convenient for me to take care of my kids as well as attend my husband.

My children started going to school and I am able to give them a decent life.

 



All thanks to my instructor Ms. Hemima and Martha Madam for providing me with an opportunity to change my distressed life into a more self-reliant and meaning ful life. Whole hearted thanks to all the donors of Shoshana for helping many needy women like me.
