I was lucky enough to meet Rehana, her two daughters and her son (in the original loan request it refers to one daughter as the other daughter was married - however, that daughter is now back home). She told me that the loans from our partner Akhuwat (this is her third loan cycle now). The loans have enabled her to buy materials in bulk and make a bigger profit to help with their living expenses. Their home is very simple and they work from home adding the jewels to necklace templates. Each finished necklace sells for between 300 and 1000 rupees depending on how fancy it is. The two daughters were working hard fixing the jewels into the necklaces which is painstaking work. The allowed me to have a go but not for long as I made very slow work of it. Rehana told me that the loans had made a big difference to the families life and they are living much more comfortably and are able to support their children and grandchildren who will be able to go to school
