TESTIMONIALS
- Deena (Housekeeping)
My name is Deena, my designation is Housekeeping, I have two children, my daughter completed her B.com and is presently training to work in a call center. My son is an alcohol addict. My husband has health issues, so he is not able to go for work regularly. I was working as a maid in a house before I could come here, the income I earned was insufficient to run my family, so I was searching for a job.
I got an opportunity at this Women’s Empowerment program at KGF; after which I am able to run my family and serve two meals a day at home.
Before this my life was miserable as I didn’t know how to handle difficult situations but now I have learned to handle my problems through our Nurture Classes which have changed my life ; I have learnt to be patient, not to hurt or argue with anybody. I am also learning how our project takes care of the environment and am happy to be a part of this.
I am married and have two children. My husband, who is working for daily wages in a hotel, is addicted to alcohol, and a very rude person, and I have suffered a lot. My children are good in studies and I want to encourage their studies but I am not able to go for a job and also to take care of the children. After this training started in the vicinity of my residence and the timings were comfortable, I am able to work regularly. My financial situation was very bad as my husband used to give me only 2000/- for the food expenses and was not able to meet all the needs of my children; but this training has empowered me to be courageous and allows me enough stipend to meet my children's educational needs. Thanks for the training and meeting our needs. I am very stubborn and very soon I get angry, but after coming here, I have slightly changed.
