Empowering Women Entrepreneurs – Suman Devi's Journey
Meet Suman Devi, a determined and hardworking woman from the Safal CLF, who has transformed her dreams into reality. A housewife with a passion to build something of her own, Suman joined a Focus Group Discussion organized by the Swami Vivekananda Shiksha Samiti under the Promotion of Women Led Enterprises (PWLE) project.
During the meeting, Suman shared her vision of opening a footwear shop, a dream that had long been brewing in her heart. Her idea caught the attention of the project employees, who quickly took action. They contacted the Safal CLF Cadre and helped her apply for a loan of ₹50,000 to turn her dream into a business.
With initial support, Suman invested ₹10,000 of her own savings and used the ₹50,000 loan from CLF to get her footwear shop off the ground. The PWLE project provided market support, ensuring Suman had the tools and resources needed to succeed.
Today, Suman Devi is not just a business owner; she is a self-dependent, empowered woman who has built a successful venture from the ground up. Her journey is a testament to the power of support, determination, and entrepreneurship.
Suman's success story is a shining example of how small-scale loans and community support can transform lives. She is an inspiration for countless women who dare to dream and take charge of their future.
