A. Afrose used to be in the cloth industry. From there, it was a small jump to get into the saree fabric painting business. She took a loan from Milaap so that she could learn this business, and it has been very beneficial to her family. When I asked her how, she told me that she has a son in the 10th Std., and a daughter in the 12th Std. She has been able to pay Rs. 20,000 as school fees for her children.
Additional expenses appeared in the form of medical expenses for her in-laws, where she had to spend about Rs. 1000. She plans to lay additional flooring for her house in the future. She is very happy with her business, and dreams of bright futures for both her children. She wants to enroll her son in a police training institute, and wants her daughter to become a doctor.
