How a Chicken Changes Lives
Rima has worked in many ways to support her family, from running a hotel and kiosk to tailoring, taxi services and farming. Finding a livelihood she could sustain was not always easy.
Read the full story Show less
When her husband died, Rima sold the business they had run together to pay medical bills and move closer to family. She learned tailoring, repaired clothes and taught others to sew. She later invested in a tuk-tuk taxi service, but after one vehicle was stolen and market conditions changed, she had to close it. She also grew rice and other crops, mostly by herself, with her daughter helping when she could.
Support to build a livelihood
Through Leprosy Mission staff, Rima connected with a local Self-Help Group (SHG). The group provided training in business and money management and helped her prepare for challenges such as climate-related difficulties and natural disasters. She received a loan to expand her tailoring business and has repaid it.
Rima also received training and chickens to begin a poultry business. Some lay eggs; she breeds others to sell. In six months, she sold ten chickens and many eggs to people in her community.
The support has helped Rima feel more independent and confident in sharing her ideas.
How your Gift of Love helps
Rima’s story shows how a practical gift, paired with training and resources, can help someone build a livelihood and strengthen their financial security.
