Rabia, a homemaker from a low-income household in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, raised three children while her husband โ a truck driver โ struggled with alcohol dependency and irregular income. With no independent income or formal education, the family often fell short of food, clothing and school fees.
Unrecognised skill: self-taught stitching & zardozi embroidery.
A Make Tomorrow team member, reached through a community referral, recognised her untapped craft potential and enrolled her in a structured skilling programme โ upgrading her embroidery to market-ready standards.
Rabia now earns โน200โโน500 per day through zardozi work orders, supporting her family and her children's school expenses with newfound financial independence.
