NISHTHA: Tripuranagar Village, West Bengal

Yoga Flex FlyerYGB is funding three groups (44 mothers and 44 daughters) in this region this year. "Stri Shakti," the group name for the 11 mothers and 11 daughters in West Bengal, is the third group funded by YGB. In January, all 11 girls were admitted to the formal school of Tripuranagar, and all are enthusiastic for the opportunity to receive education.

Yoga Flex FlyerEleven mothers received two-day sessions to learn about micro financing as well as how to cope with life's potential difficulties and economic responsibilities. This group has shown a dynamic interest and strong determination to develop something significant for their lives. Three women have started small businesses; selling imitation gold ornaments, running a grocery shop and vegetable vending, with some already showing a profit. Nishtha social workers will continue to provide advice and discuss business decisions with them. After two months of business operations, a common bank account will be opened for this group so they may deposit their contributions for emergencies and future plans. This group already shows promise with their commitment to succeed. We look forward to sharing more updates with you soon!!!
