Meet Shapna
Shapna and her daughters were struggling. Her family only had one source of income, which came from her husband. This left Shapna feeling powerless, while her family felt hungry from the lack of basic necessities.
When Shapna attended a sewing training course, she began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. She used her new sewing skills to become a dressmaker and now feels independent and capable as a mom.
“Now I earn money and can fulfill my family’s needs and pay for my daughters’ education.”

Integrated Approach
By addressing root causes across agriculture, education, health, and gender equality, we help break the cycle of poverty for good.
