Responds to — Lack of income
My name is Margareta Pradhan, and I am from Kandhamal. I saw an opportunity to help my family, so I invested in a sewing machine. With it, I began to sew, and it wasn't long before I earned 20,000 rupees.
This income has made a real difference for us. I am proud to contribute to my family and ensure we have what we need, helping us to thrive in our daily lives.
