After the death of her husband Kulwinder Kaur’s
world came crashing down around her. Facing
financial difficulties as it is, it was even more difficult
to even put food on the table for two daughter’s and a son, but having the grit
to take on life in this tough world the moment kulwinder got the support of
Umeed she consolidated her own financial position and became an inspiration for
other women.
Kulwinder Kaur being fully aware of the difficulties which women have
to face after the demise of ones husband took it upon
herself to become self reliant a well as making others aware of how to be self
sufficient by teaching women how to do stitching and dari work under the social empowerment agenda of Umeed. Belonging to
village Majha, 58 year old Kulwinder Kaur
faced all the challenges after the demise of her husband and brought up her two
daughters and a son, got them married and made her son self sufficient. As per Kulwinder most of the women in the village are
generating income on their own and contributing in running their household.
Kulwinder says she has taught 25 women stitching etc who are earning on their
own. Using this peer teaching method Umeed
has been instrumental in making 100 women of the village self reliant who now
earn and contribute towards the running of
their households.
