Vana"Esther hails from a poor family. She was living in an unsecure, uncompleted house. Because of her poverty she had no chance of thinking anything beyond what she had. Her husband is an auto driver but few years back he met with an accident and his license was cassed by the RTO. After that he started going for daily wage labour work. His earning was meager. It was hardly sufficient to make ends meet. Realizing the pathetic condition of the family the animators selected Esther's family for Family Development programme.

After Selection:

Esther was motivated by the trainings given and the regular monitoring visits by the animator. She has invested the funds received from SAFP on Tailoring, Motor vending, carpentry and furniture, Mat weaving and mobile canteen. Now she is involved mainly in Mobile canteen during the day and whenever she gets time she does mat weaving and tailoring. All these works are helping her to lead a decent life and also to save money. They now have savings with them. They could buy a plot and built a secure house with all basic facilities. They have also given a portion of their house for rent. The family gets additional income from this. They have now regular savings in the bank as well as in the SHG. They also have Fixed deposits, health and life insurance policies as social security for their future. At present they are very happy and living a dignified life.
