HASSS Helps Nirmala Expand from Tailoring to Trade, Enhancing Monthly Income by ₹5,000
N. Nirmala, a home tailor from Suraram and member of Laxmi Mahila Sangam SHG, supports her family along with her husband N. Shekar, a driver earning Rs. 15,000/month. With two school-going children, managing expenses was challenging. Through support from HASSS, she received a loan of Rs. 25,000, which she used to start selling lining materials and saree falls in addition to tailoring. This helped her earn an extra Rs. 5,000 per month. Nirmala gratefully acknowledges HASSS for empowering her to ease her family’s financial burden and improve their quality of life through sustainable livelihood support.
