“I am the youngest one in the group”.
Kavita is 13 year old girl. She is going to school and is currently studying in 9th class. She came to knew about these classes and she thought why not learn something creative and productive. So she joined stitching classes along with which she also learned mehendi and dance classes also provided by siddham sansthan.
She loves stitching clothes for herself. She thinks now that she knows how to stitch she could actually afford to wear what she wants to wear and it won’t even cost her much. She can stitch for her mother any time so she feels that she is saving money for some more important events.
“I got my Diploma Certificate from Siddham Sansthan”.
Lalita, 35, is the most senior in learning stitching. She saw the classes going on in the village. She approached for herself and joined the classes immediately. Since the time she joined the classes she never skipped any of the class. That’s the reason why she was able tocomplete her classes so early and now she practice her skills on neighbours and she is planning on taking projects on.
She needs more practice before getting into freelancing work. Probably after a few weeks later she might start doing this for her living. She wanted to be the other person to bring more money home.

Seema Sain is 26 year old, she got married at a very young age. she has a responsibility of two children. After 6 years of marriage she started from the scratch and has joined college again.

“I would have expected a person like her, so i Approached her”.
Varsh, 30,is the manager where these classes are held. Their homes are also stated there. She said,” i would have never seen a face like her”, so she approached Mrs. Pratima Naithani who is the founder of this NGO.
“She was searching for people who would be interested in the classes she wanted to start with people like us. I have seen issues in village and if she was willing to bring a hand forward why shouldn’t we. So i was ready to gather as many women i could so, that she could never say no that it is not possible” she said.
She wanted to master this field. As she said it was her passion to learn this. This work helps her many times. She says that she won’t be seen or called in the same manner as earlier.
Family circumstances made me leave school
Manisha Prajapat is 15 year old, she left the school when she was in 8th because of family circumstances. I wanted to learn something that would result in money and what if she could join school again.
So somebody from her village one day came running and said whether she was interested in stitching, mehendi or dancing but she opted stitching. Now she is almost half way through in completing her diploma. She is considered to be the most shy but regular and obedient student.
