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%.

It’s been five months since she opened her tailoring shop near Beltola, a testament to her hard work and newfound opportunities.
