CASE STUDIES
Shrimad Rajchandra Mahila Gruha Udyog
Employment has Transformed Rupli's Life
When Rupli’s husband was diagnosed with a major illness that prevented him from working, she was suddenly faced with the responsibility of being the breadwinner in the family. She struggled daily as the family slipped into poverty. When she was offered a job through Shrimad Rajchandra Mahila Gruha Udyog, her life changed forever. She uses her skills productively and hand-crafts food products and incense sticks in a clean, safe and friendly environment, working alongside and making friends with other women. The money she earns enables Rupli to support her family and pay for her husband’s treatment – an extremely empowering and liberating experience.
TESTIMONIALS
“I came to know about Shrimad Rajchandra Mahila Gruha Udyog (SRMGU) from my village women folk and the personal development that these ladies had experienced working there. Knowing this, I was inspired to join this initiative and began working here. The best aspect of Shrimad Rajchandra Mahila Gruha Udyog is that they imparted training to me to ensure I learnt the process well and once I was well versed with it, they ensure continuous growth and development. Working at this project for the last 4 years, I can say that it has helped in the progress of my entire family, consisting of my husband and three children.”
