Our families have endured extreme financial hardship since the beginning of the pandemic last year. The economic crisis made life extremely difficult for our mothers to make a living and to feed their families. As well as advising them on how to stay safe, we prioritised giving them the means to earn money and start their own micro businesses.
Throughout the last year Nandri continued to help our families by distributing food and other essentials to the villages. The lock down has slowly been eased and people have started to again search for work. But finding jobs is very difficult. While they are searching, Nandri is continuing to support them and also helping some of our mothers start income generating activities and micro businesses.
With our financial help, a group of mothers joined together and started a bakery in their village. With our support these mothers will work in their new business and earn enough income to help feed their families and keep their children in education.
Another group pooled their resources and with a financial loan from Nandri started a textile shop. Other mothers have bought sewing machines to make garments and generate income for their families. Nandri has enabled these women to take the first steps to help them and their families become financially secure and enable them to keep their children in education.
We could not support our families in their new businesses without your help. A big thank you to all our generous donors for your continuous support of our mothers and their new micro industries. With your continued help, Nandri will help our families to survive during this time of extreme hardship.
