Rani was a 35 year old mother of five children who was living in a rundown house when we found her. Her husband recently died of severe disease called cholera. Cholera is a disease that is transmitted by ingesting contaminated water or food. She had tried many ways to save her husband but poverty hit her like never before. She had done everything from polishing shoes to begging to feed her children as well to pay for her husband’s disease but unfortunately things were not going in her way. Her husband was the only income support she and her children had for survival. After her husband’s death she didn’t have anyone to ask support from. Her life was crashing down. Determined to get her life back together she went down to government unemployment office. That where we found her.
Mr. Sachithra Sarachchandra was a follower of our blog and he works at the Government Unemployment office. That’s where he met Rani. He listened to her story and he immediately contacted us. That was the beginning of a new life to Rani.
After hearing her story and a thorough interview, one of the talents that stood out from her was her ability to sew. We focused on that and made arrangements to enhance her sewing skills. In near future we will be able to get her employed in a Garment factory as they demand cheap labour. She will be able to support her kids really soon.

In regard to your comment Ashela we are trying to get more employment positions by sending out proposals to various companies. Currently we are partnered with Bangladesh airlines and Gameen Phones. We are trying to reach out for more companies.
ReplyDeleteIn regard to your comment Give a Hand, we are more focused on getting disadvantaged people for the employment force but we would try to look at your suggestion as well. It's a good idea.
Thanks for your comments!
