Story of one of the beneficiaries of Shoshana sewing centre - Gannavaram.

Ø              My name is Rebeca Rani. I was a student at Shoshana sewing centre Gannavaram. I come                from a tribal backward community. I was in the very first group of women who completed                    the tailoring course  in the year 2023.  I am married and I have two children. Coming to my                    family situation –

My husband is a waste picker and sewage cleaning worker. He is very irresponsible and not taking care of my family needs. Most of the time he is drunk and out of work. My health is also not well so I couldn’t go out for work as a daily worker. I couldn’t feed my children properly as well as send them to school.

Knowing my situation, Shoshana gave me an opportunity to join the free sewing class.  After finishing the class, they provided me with a sewing machine as well as the necessary equipment to start my own shop.   

With their encouragement, I started a tailoring shop in my village called Indupalli.  Government provided me with a temporary shelter to set up the shop. It is almost a year now working as a tailor. I am very happy to be financially independent and to be able to support my family and to give my children a better life. All this is possible because of Shoshana and Martha Madam I thank all the donors who are supporting many women like me to have a better life.
