Syeda Faizunnisa - Manager, S.F.T. Training Center

Despite coming from a middle class background and facing much resistance from the people she knew, Faizunnisa had moved to live in the slum area where she had decided to begin her work. It is of great credit to her, being a woman of a minority community, to be able to cater to the needs of the marginalized sections of both the communities without any nepotism.
