Poonam's Story

When her husband left to go work in New Delhi, she was left alone to care for her three children.

When Poonam's children began school, Poonam was plunged into further financial trouble. She became responsible for taking care of her entire family - feeding, clothing and educating her children. Never educated herself, she wants her daughters to complete their schooling so that they will have a better life. Poonam hopes to save for her children’s futures and improve her home with the money she makes from creating cards.
