Testimonial
Sangita lives in Gogaipur village in Khalwa, Madhya Pradesh with her husband and in-laws. Since the couple did not own any land in the village. It compelled her family to migrate frequently to different cities in search of livelihood. During one of the surveys conducted by Caritas India Sabal programme to initiate the livelihood programme as response to COVID-19 pandemic to support the migrant returnees and to provide job opportunities to the affected families; Sangita was identified as one of the beneficiaries qualifying for the initiative. The livelihood initiative was to identify the poor families which are the most deserving and are constrained to migrate due to lack of resources available in the village for surviving but have basic talents and skills that can help them to uplift their financial well-being but are unable to create it as an opportunity due to lack of or no financial resource to invest.
Sabal under its COVID-19 pandemic response identified 210 such deserving families and supported them financially to initiate the livelihood opportunities. These livelihood opportunities included opening a petty shop, starting a tailoring, beauty parlour and juice centres, mobile repairing shop, automobile repairing centre etc. Sangita is one of such successful stories of Sabal which has paid off the family well to sustain the unanticipated second wave of COVID-19 which brought the whole country to a halt with another lockdown for 2 months and lack of opportunities for the families which extensively depended on the migration.
When the Sabal team visited the village the poshanmitra identified Sangita’s family deserving the support. Further discussion with her revealed that before marriage she had been doing tailoring at her home but had to stop it after coming back to her husband’s home. She had also studied till 10th and knew basic calculations and emphasized on savings which was supported by her husband Madan as well. She wanted to do something on her own and did not wanted to migrate as she find it very risky due to Covid. “Hume yaha rehne se kuch nhi milta isley bahar jana padta hai” (We don’t get anything here that is why we need to migrate). “Bimari ka bhi dar hai magar parivar bhi chalana hai” (We are afraid of getting infected, but we need to run the family). – said Sangita.
Considering her willingness to do something the team of Caritas India assured to support her in purchasing a sewing machine with a commitment that she will stay back in the village and continue her livelihood. On 18th January, Sangita got her new sewing machine and started her shop in her own name “Sangita Silai Center” (Sangita Tailoring Centre). Within couple of months, she earned ₹14,000 and with the savings brought by her husband she also bought another machine and installed electric motor to the machines. Her husband also stopped migrating and is supporting Sangita by also learning tailoring from her.
“Maine silai class bhi chalu kiya hai aur teen ladkiyan pass ki gav se seekhne bhi aati hai” (I have also started tailoring classes recently and three girls come to learn from nearby villages) – happily shared by Sangita. Sangita is charging ₹500 per student for the tailoring classes where she also provides raw materials to the girls for learning.
Even during the pandemic lockdown Sangita and her family did not migrate and survived as they got monthly income of ₹4000 from the tailoring orders.
A ‘Musahar’ girl from Bihar broke the age-old barriers of education deprivation. Literacy rate among musahar’s is only 3 percent and falls below 1 percent for the women who are subjected to exploitation, violence, and sexual harassment since ages.
Reena, a shy and simple musahar girl from Bedwaliya village was no different when aspired to get educated to lead a better future.
Even after all the hardships she managed to get promoted to class 6 but her joy ended when due to sudden sickness and lack of public health services had to dropout from the school.
The next entire year was even more difficult for Reena and her family as she neither could attend the school nor able to assist the family in earning their livelihood. Once a little better, her family did not send her to school in order to make up for the income lost during her illness.
Reena is now coming to an age where most of the girls of her age get married but due to lack of finances she had to continue working to bear the expenses of her marriage. By the time Hamari Pathshala reached her tola, almost three years had passed since she had been to school and she had forgotten what she had learnt.
Today, Reena is married and taking bridge course to cover the gap in her studies for appearing in Bihar Board Open Schooling and Examination. The counselling and educational support provided by Caritas India Hamari Pathshala project made this possible for Reena and many other musahar girls. The project gives special focus on the development of teaching modules and training of facilitators to improve the system of education in the targeted community.
Reena and many others are receiving educational benefits and able to teach other children of her community. She wishes to continue her studies even after her marriage till her “Gauna” (a practice when the bride is finally taken to the in-laws’).
Supported by Millennium Alliance, the project with 18 months of its intervention has infused positive communication and reinforcement to build self-confidence and independence in musahar community towards education.
The project has reached out to 392 musahar girls from which 129 girls were mainstreamed into local schools. The intervention has helped 165 girls to avail RTE benefits such as school uniform allowance, books and scholarship.
