Where there is a will there is a way.

In a young age, Sangetha, from Indira Nagar Humnabad Taluk, got married, and she lived with her husband in Sindbandagi village in Humnabad Taluk where they owned a house. She is a second daughter-in-law in her husband's family. There are three children in her family, two boys and one girl. They are a joint family and at the beginning they were very happy with each other. It was a pleasure for Sangeetha to do all her work. She worked hard and was always willing to help others. However, after a few years, due to misunderstandings in the family, she, along with her children, left her husband’s house and went to her mother's house and never returned after that.

She joined the women-led self-help group of Sindbandgi village named Jyothi SHG while she was staying in her mother's house. After joining the SHG group she learned all about the rules and regulations as well as the whereabouts of the SHG group.

A regular visit by ORBIT staff from Women empowerment program was made to the SHGs to provide them with information about environment, sustainability, leadership, etc. As Sangeetha realized the importance of SHG groups and their benefits, she joined one in her village. She was inspired to live an independent life by this. She challenged herself to learn tailoring, purchase a sewing machine through a loan from SHG, save money from it, and take care of her family.

 In accordance with her plan, she obtained a loan and purchased a tailoring machine. Prior to that, she had taken tailoring classes. She with the cooperation of her neighbors and relatives began to stitch the cloths and earn money per day 300 - 450 Rs. The good news is that her husband has moved to her house and they live together. He is helping her with her tailoring now.  The family is happy now. They can live independently with their earnings.

Sangeetha is ever grateful to ORBIT for the support, help and confidence it gave for. She continues her participation in the SHG also help the others in their need.
