Nirmala, living in village Mayapur was from a poor family. She had to struggle for meeting the daily needs of her family. The total members in her family are six and her husband also works as a laborer. His earning was not sufficient to run the family. Around 1 ½ years ago a self help group was formed. In the beginning Nirmala was very nervous and afraid to become the member of the group because she thinks that they will take money and run away.

Later on the Shifa team and the group members made her understand the benefit and objective of this program. After motivating she joined the group and after six months she took loan for the amount of Rs. 1000 from the group and Rs. 4000 from the bank. Then she purchased (Bhabad) grass, prepared ropes for selling. Her business of rope making has grown well. She is saving some amount and running the house. Even she returned the loan with interest in time to the group and to the bank. She is very happy today because she is helping her husband in running the house. She feels after joining the group she is able to do all these. Now she is motivating other poor women to join the groups.
