Leelaben weaving her way through tough times

Leelaben is a 48-year-old woman living in Mota Kandagra village around Tata Power's Mundra plant. Her husband was a tailor but few years ago stopped working due to acute illness and hence the family was completely dependent on Leelaben for their survival.

Her fortunes started changing when she took a loan from the SHG and started a general provision store at home. She was skilled in the Rabari and Ahir work, and further got trained by Tata Power in stitching which helped enhanced her skill. Since last 3 years she is an active member of our Anokha Dhaaga project. Currently she leads the handicraft work supplied to our leading partner Okhai. She trains other artisans and conducts quality check for all the products. This has helped enhance her household income and improve her quality of life.
