Sumitra’s story
My husband abandoned me and my four children 14
years ago. There’s nothing he has given me except my
kids. I could have abandoned them too but I stayed back
for
them.
Sometimes I feel so weak, I just want to go somewhere
and cry my heart out. I am a great cook and I have countless certificates but they’re worthless for me. There’s not
a food I can’t cook. I can prepare all sorts of international
dishes but what’s the use ma’am?
But despite all these, I come here to Didi Headquarters
every day to attend class. I can knit woolen clothes and I
even knit a woolen purse for Jan. I don’t like to stay idle. I
love to engage myself in something and this is the reason
why I joined the training I make and sell woolen clothes
and would to start my own tailoring shop after the training. But that also seems quite difficult as I am financially
weak and can’t afford to buy a machine.
I desperately need a job, so if someone from Didi Foundation would help me then I’d be more than just grateful, Sumitra.
