Saheena Akhtar, from Sijubari, Hatigaon, always dreamed of turning her tailoring skills into a successful business, but struggled with low earnings. Her situation changed when she started attending meetings organized by FST. After evaluating her needs, FST provided her with a double-stitching machine.
This new machine allowed Saheena to work with more complex fabrics and significantly improved her business, increasing her earnings by over 30%. The boost in income allowed her to contribute significantly to her family’s finances, easing the burden on her household. It’s been five months since she opened her tailoring shop near Beltola, a testament to her hard work and newfound opportunities.
While connecting with her, we also learned that she wanted to expand her business to provide a better future for her family. She is thankful for FST’s assistance and support. Her story highlights how support and opportunities can transform lives, and she is excited about her prospects.
