Dear Friends,
Greetings from Azad India Foundation!
It is my pleasure to share our latest report via GlobalGiving on the progress of our project to provide sewing machine to a needy girl for self-reliance in Kishanganj district of Bihar. Thank you for your support and for empowering women to rise out of poverty. A sewing machine may be a simple gift but it is life changing for many women and their families.
As a part of the ongoing livelihood support program, Azad India Foundation had given sewing machine to Rumi from village Miyabasti, Chattargach.
Bihar state government had announced complete lockdown in the last week of March which is still underway in response to deadlier second wave of Covid19 pandemic in India. Many people especially those living in the poor and marginalized communities are facing extreme hardships and economic distress. The situation is grim in the rural areas of Kishanganj where majority of people are dependent on agriculture and work as landless labor and other odd jobs.
Rumi is unable to get regular orders from the local tailors. Her monthly income has reduced to Rs 2000-2500 due to extended lockdown in her village but she is just managing to survive somehow.
Thank you for giving chance to succeed! Your gift is making a big impact in not only their life but given hope others as well. Even a small donation has a potential to empower the whole family to earn sustainable income.
Do contribute to help us give life of dignity to more disadvantaged girls and please spread the word.
Warm Regards,
