Madhu, in fact, has been scripting a story of sustainability, and going with her desire to help out women, has started a new project to help the Pakistani Hindu immigrants.

“We are very happy to share about our new Saheli Women centre. All the ladies in the area are Pakistani Hindu immigrants who came to India in search of acceptance, security, livelihood and citizenship but are strangled in regulations that have left them stateless for years.

The majority of women have no opportunity to make a livelihood for themselves or their family here and their husband’s struggle to find adequate work in jodhpur, India.

They have nothing to turn to for an income other than to work in the mining industry. Many women were found widowed due to such hazardous jobs resulting in death.”

“While adapting to the new environment, the migrants have a daily struggle to meet basic human needs. this is where Saheli steps in to provide income and training. Saheli women believes in the power a women holds and its goal is to support the women to make them financially and emotionally independent.”

“We teach them the skills that are needed for the job so they can bring food to their home, give their children a better childhood and a brighter future. Our amazing ladies love to work with their fellow Saheli’s and bring this garment to you with love. This can continue to bring light to their life and smiles on their faces. These women are truly inspiring to us,” she says.
