Dear Friends,
Rodi lives in a village of our Jhadol block. Rodi is 60 years old and she is a member of a self help group of this village since March, 2011. She has 3 sons among whom one is married and a daughter.
Rodi started saving with Rs. 25 per month through the self help group and now her saving has increased up to Rs.50 per month. Before joining the group, her economical status wasn’t very good as her husband was the sole breadwinner of the family and he also didn’t earn enough.
With support of the self help group, she thought of starting her traditional business of pottery but she didn’t have the initial capital. The savings collected by her group wasn’t sufficient to meet production needs of members therefore her group applied for a bank loan under SGSY scheme of government. The group was successful in getting a loan of Rs.3,12,500 from bank.
Rodi was provided a loan of Rs.50,000 from the bank loan for starting pottery business by her group. Today Rodi and her husband make and sell pots in the local as well as in Udaipur market. She earns Rs.60,000 annually from this business. Till date she has repaid more than half of her loan. Rodi has become a role model for her group members and other self help groups.
Thank you so much for your continuous support to this program.
Regards
Atul Lekhra
