Mayuree
Mayuree is a farmer, which means even one of these uncontrollable factors can completely ruin her career: awful weather, severe droughts, devastating floods, and all kinds of natural disasters you could imagine. Her income is unstable, and she used to suffer from unpaid household bills. Now things took a drastic turn for the better; with this loofah sewing job, she earns additional money to pay for her necessities, no longer having to wait for the harvest season.
“I have worked with this group of artisans for more than 8 years. Before that, I was clueless about what to do when it wasn’t planting season. I had to go around searching for jobs and hardly spent time with my kids. All these years my life has been different. I stay home with my little ones when I’m not engaged in farming. Our bond is now immensely strong, and we are contented with it”
