Rajeshwari

“I want to buy sewing machines for all my six brothers so that they can also go into business.”

After her marriage, Rajeshwari (38) started a small crockery shop with her husband. Working with microcredits has made a real difference.

Their business started 10 years ago and is now flourishing and diversifying. The shop has doubled in size. Her first "business loan" (a larger loan for well-performing entrepreneurs) was used to buy two sewing machines and employ two laborers making bags.

ASA GV focuses mainly on microfinance and improving the life standards of poor women in India. ASA GV has been an Oikocredit partner since 2005. Read more about ASA GV here.
