She is a mother of five children. Although she attended school, she wasn't very interested in studying at that time. Even after receiving a Phuri Phuri Tallao, she couldn't write it herself, so she asked a relative's girl to write it for her. She started to feel that she wants to write her income and expenditure by herself after observing other members doing the bookkeeping. She was very happy to have participated in the literacy course. Now, she watches her three children in elementary school do their homework, checking their addition, subtraction, Sindhi, and English alphabets. She had always felt that her children were not doing well in studying, but they didn't take their mother's advice seriously because she couldn't read, and she herself felt embarrassed to talk to them about their studies. The children know that the literacy course has helped their mother learn to read and write, and she feels that the children are more interested in their studies when she watches them do their homework. She shared from her own experience that if they don't study, they will have a hard time.

<Open a small store by getting confidence>

Learning how to read and write wasn't the only thing she gained from the literacy course. She also acquired communication skills. She had always wanted to open a small store, but her husband had not allowed it. However, after attending the literacy course, her husband changed his mind that she was ready to negotiate with the store owners, and he allowed her to open a store in a corner of their house. She is buying the materials by herself. One of the male family members drives her to the store and helps with purchasing goods, such as laces, patterns, threads, and needles used in handicrafts. Some customers pay at a later time. She can keep track of how much they spend during such transactions, because she can read and write now.

<Time Management>　

The main customers of her shop are women and children. Until her shop opened, they purchased yarn and needles from a similar shop in the neighbouring village. However, if this store were to close, they would not be able to get the materials and would miss their delivery deadlines. Now, they can buy such materials whenever they want in their village. In addition to working at the shop, she has to take care of her children and do housework, so she makes a weekly timetable for her tasks. By informing her family of the schedule in advance, no one complains, and she is able to balance her work and household chores. She thinks that making handicrafts is not very profitable considering the time it takes. Now, she and her husband both think that the shop is more efficient work for her.

<Relationship with Family>

Her husband has always been supportive of her. When he became ill, she donated 10,000 rupees from her savings to pay for his treatment, so she felt that this strengthened her relationship with him even more.

<Future of her shop>

She used the 20,000 rupees that her brother-in-law gave her last Eid to purchase goods, and she sold 40,000 rupees worth of items. She reinvested 20,000 rupees. She has increased the number of items in her shop, but she had to use her savings for the recovery from the floods. She would like to get more money to invest and continue running her shop.
