Name:

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.

Name: Rina

MEET RINA

Rina needed to provide for her family since her husband’s salary wasn’t enough. During visits to her in-law’s village, Rina stumbled upon our Asani Sanitary Napkin production center and decided that she would love to sell Asani pads to the women in her village. Rina was the very first member of our Asani sales team and sold over 100 packs of Asani in her first month on the job. Rina now feels empowered and motivates other women on the growing sales team.
