Usha's Partnerships With NGOs Help Women Achieve Financial Freedom

Usha's Partnerships With NGOs Help Women Achieve Financial Freedom

Usha's partnerships with NGOs like CADAT, Unnayan Samiti, and Bhojpur Mahila Kala Kendra are revolutionising communities by empowering women with life-changing skills. From remote tribal areas to bustling villages, these collaborations are helping women achieve financial independence, start businesses, and inspire others to dream bigger

In Khagrabari region of Biswanath, which shares a border with Arunachal Pradesh and is primarily inhabited by Bodo tribal communities, the Centre for Development Action and Appropriate Technology (CADAT) is now rolling out a livelihood project aimed at supporting these tribal areas. Usha's support has enabled CADAT to secure funding from government bodies.

Grassroots organisation Unnayan Samiti's collaboration with Usha started in 2017. The collaboration immediately brought a clear focus to their efforts-empowering women through practical skills that could improve their lives.

Since then, this partnership has trained hundreds of women, many of whom are now financially independent, running their own Silai Schools, or contributing to their households in meaningful ways.

Among the lives transformed is that of Rinku Devi, a resident of Musahar Toli, in the village of Alipur on the outskirts of Ara District. Through Bhojpur Mahila Kala Kendra and Usha Silai School, Rinku learned tailoring, a skill that has enabled her to open her own sewing school where she now teaches other women in her community.

In Chandi Village, Noor Saba also learned tailoring through Usha Silai School. She opened her center with the help of Bhojpur Mahila Kala Kendra and later founded an NGO that supports women's self-sufficiency and employment.
