Rekha Namdev, SHG MEMBER 

NGO-CHRSW

Rekha is a skilled tailor in the Hasan Pura Slum of Jaipur. Living in a rented house with her two daughters and a chronically sick husband, she took charge to become the family's primary breadwinner. She was determined to work through this setback and decided to enroll as one of the self-help groups (SHGs) managed by the Centre for Human Rights and Social Welfare (CfHRSW), a non-profit organization working in her community that helps uplift the weaker and vulnerable sections of society. However, little did she realize that the onset of COVID 19 would derail her best-laid plans and diminish her savings within a short period. With the city of Jaipur imposing a strict lockdown to control the virus, she began facing a turbulent time due to her inability to provide for her family.

The provision of livelihood for these 22 women in the SHG that was spearheaded by none other than Rekha. For Rekha, this meant she could feed her family, pay her rent, pay for her daughters to continue their education in a good school, and most importantly help alleviate her mental stress caused due to her finances. Also, this small initiative has gone a long way in improving women confidence to support their families through these turbulent times. There are several other women whose problems if not eliminated, have undeniably been alleviated due to this collaboration.
