VSSM helps Nituben to have her own vegetable cart and brings smile to her face
Nituben Dantani belongs to Guptanagar of Vasna area of Ahmedabad District. She has three kids and her husband in her family. She was doing labour work and household chores in the bungalows for her livelihood expenses. Her husband used to borrow money on interest which he used to spend to do his business of vegetable selling. He had his hand-cart on rent. He used to pay daily rent of Rs. 20. His less income went in paying daily rent of hand-cart, vegetable purchasing and paying interest of the money he borrowed. Nituben came in to contact with Ilaben, the VSSM karyakar. She narrated his situation and asked for Rs. 20,000 loan.
Her own house is with tin roof on it, so they have the main problem of paying more share of his income in to interest amount that he had earlier borrowed. VSSM helped Nituben with the loan she asked for. She spent Rs. 20,000 of loan to purchase a new hand-cart, electric weighing machine for vegetables and a big umbrella for shade for her husband. He also brought more vegetables to sell. She repaid her husband's previous loan too to become free from paying interest.
VSSM help has now started showing the impact. Nituben is able to run her house well and she is saving money also. She has repaid Rs. 12,000 to VSSM out of the 20,000 she borrowed as an interest free loan. She could save money to buy another hand-cart and she is now helping her husband to earn more. They now have fruits along with vegetables. Though sometimes they fail to repay as decided but they wish to pay back and they keep working hard to pay back the loan which helped them to be independent in their business. The help proved truly like lifeline to them. They thank VSSM again and again for the help.
Nituben’s children used to study in the government school. Now she has decided to educate them well so that she has admitted them into Satyam School nearby her house. She is happy with the help and working hard to achieve more in life.
VSSM wishes Nituben a happy and respectful life.
VSSM is forwarding thanks along with their gratitude towards the donors who are the co-travellers in this journey of social service for the NT and DNT communities.
