Her husband is a toddy tapper, a hard and honest worker, but his income was barely enough to cover their household expenses, leaving little room for dreams—or even necessities. Each month, as the money ran out before their needs ended, her heart felt heavy with the same question over and over again: How could she provide for her daughters and give them the education they deserved?

Each day was a new challenge, a new struggle. Holding her daughters' hands as they walked home, she would imagine a brighter path for them, even as she struggled to see it for herself.

Then an opportunity came to take a tailoring course. For six months, she poured my heart and soul into learning the art of sewing. Shanti had never worked so hard or with such purpose, stitching her hopes and dreams into every piece. Each lesson was was a step toward rewriting her story.

The day she graduated from the course, she wasn’t just handed a certificate. She carried home a sewing machine. Staring at it, she marveling at the possibilities it represented. For the first time, she saw a future where she wasn’t helpless.

Today, Shanti stands proud as an earning woman. Her income not only helps support her household but ensures that her daughters stay in school.

"To everyone who made this possible—thank you. Your support hasn’t just changed my life; it’s changed the path my daughters will walk one day. " said Shanti.

Thank you for believing in Shanti and women like her!
