Manju says, “NISAKAR TRADE’s loans are the best things that have happened to us. My husband doesn’t have to become a day laborer or go to a company to earn a meager INR 200 per day. We are bound by no rules and regulations. I can finish my household chores and then begin sorting moonj. We are at ease and love each other and our work. We don’t save a lot of money, but contentment - we thrive upon.”
One of the few remaining people to continue their traditional occupation of making articles of moonj grass, Manju and her sisters-in-law continue to live and work with moonj together. This is because they can buy raw materials at bulk rates with the help of NISAKAR TRADE’s loans.
