Padma initially approached Equitas Bank to apply for a loan along with a group of women. During her visit, she discovered that we were offering skill development training programs. Her interest was highly motivated when she found out about our tailoring training, considering she already possessed some basic stitching knowledge. Her specific goal was to learn the art of cutting and stitching blouses, and she decided to enroll in our tailoring course.
What made this training even more accessible and convenient for Padma was the fact that she could attend it while taking care of her child. She successfully completed the training and, after acquiring these valuable skills, started sewing blouses not only for herself but for others as well, generating income from her newfound talent. Over time, her income grew, and she was able to repay her loan.
Padma shared with us that this training was a life changing moment for her, especially given her responsibilities as a parent. It allowed her to generate income from the comfort of her home. Today, she is a contented entrepreneur who earns approximately 4000 INR per month through her tailoring business.
