I belong to village Dhanawa district, Bodh Gaya. We come from a very poor background. Our family has no farming land, no house and no support. I have three children, and my husband is physically challenged, which leaves all the responsibility of the family on my shoulders. I used to feel very bad as many times I had to ask for food, and educating my children was not possible. Ekta Shakti Foundation kitchen started its unit near our house and I got an opportunity to work here. I started working from the first day of its operations. My life has completely changed in these years. My children are going to a private school; and now I need not ask for help from anyone. I have been able to make our small house which is our own. I own everything to this organisation and wish that it should grow and help more women like me.
