How Sonam Singh Revived an Old Skill to Support Her Family

Sonam Singh from Naugai village, Madhya Pradesh, spent her days caring for her home and children. With only her husband’s limited income, life often felt challenging. Yet, beneath her quiet routine was a strong desire to create a better future for herself and her family.

She had once learned sewing from her mother, but the skill was left unused after marriage. When the Reliance Foundation team in Shahdol introduced a sewing training programme in her village, Sonam saw an opportunity.

She revived her old sewing machine, gathered a group of local women, and embraced the chance to learn and grow.

With every stitch, her confidence grew. Orders for blouses and petticoats came in slowly at first, but her attention to detail quickly earned appreciation. She began showcasing her designs on WhatsApp and Facebook, steadily increasing her income and becoming a vital support to her family.

Her journey encouraged others in the village to explore their skills too. Today, Sonam continues to sew and support her family-quietly inspiring those around her through steady determination and effort.
