India Program Participant Starts Successful Jewelry Business, Providing Safe Jobs for Other Women in Her Community
Since most girls in Aashvi’s rural hometown are raised in poverty and discouraged from completing their education or attaining financial independence, women are at extremely high risk of being trafficked. At one of our West Bengal sites, program trainer, Nirupa, helped our trainee, Aashvi, start a jewelry-making business so that she could earn income on a flexible schedule. Nirupa walked Aashvi through drafting a business plan so she could produce her jewelry in a way that maximizes profit. Aashvi is now moving into a new level of entrepreneurship as she trains other women in her community to make jewelry, empowering them with skills to start their own businesses.
