I’m Lakshmi Devi, wife of Prakash Chand. We have four boys and one girl child. Unfortunately, my husband is addicted to alcohol, and doesn’t have a job This has made it incredibly difficult for me to financially support our family. In the midst of my struggles, I came across the Pragati team and joined the project. There, I was given many opportunities to learn and develop new skills through various awareness program and training sessions. I learned tailoring and now earn money by stitching clothes for others. This has significantly improved my ability to care for my family I am grateful to the Pragati team and the I talian Bishop’s Conference for their generosity and support.
