Smt. Saradamma (52) hails from a poor economic group lives in Ongole, Prakasam district. She being a widow stays with her daughter (38) and grandsons (8 years, 10 years). She was worried about her job less daughter (who is also a widow) and her grandsons schooling because of their poor sympathetic living conditions. The entire family bread is earned from a tailoring machine and grinder at home by serving the neighbors needs. As the equipment has become old and can’t grind more than a kilo of batter, she has to remain on a low income, though she is ready to work hard.
Having come to know about small business development assistance at Tarani India, Sarada has applied and expressed her interest to expand the shop with more equipment and utensils so that her monthly income would increase. After an evaluation through facilitator, Sarada was sanctioned with the loan on an immediate effect.
In one of the recent visits made by the audit team, She has informed that her income is nearly tripled (after the increase of equipment) and is also planning for a small hotel next to her home, as she is having all the equipment needed for the expansion. Smt. Sarada went into tears and expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the financial support and the motivation provided by Tarani India to sustain on own her own income.
