Meena Started Her Own Tailoring Business

Meena, a 34-year-old mother of two, had spent years searching for work that would allow her to support her children while caring for her family. Without formal education or vocational skills, she found it difficult to secure steady employment. Through the women empowerment program of Karuna Dham Foundation, Meena received professional tailoring and stitching training along with entrepreneurship guidance. After completing the program, she was assisted with a sewing machine and basic startup materials. Meena began taking small tailoring orders from neighbors and local shopkeepers. Over time, her customer base grew, and she started earning a consistent monthly income. She now stitches school uniforms, women’s garments, and household fabric items from her home workshop. Her business has helped her family become financially stable, and she has even started mentoring other women in her community. Meena’s story is a powerful example of how skill development and opportunity can transform lives.
