Six years ago, in Ekhlare village of Nashik, Vaibhavi gathered a small group of women who shared one simple dream — to create something of their own. With support from Mahila Arthik Vikas Mahamandal (MAVIM), they formed the Sri Krishna Mahila Bachat Gath. Though none of them knew tailoring, Vaibhavi patiently taught them, stitch by stitch, never letting them lose faith in themselves.

With the support of NeevJivan Foundation, which provided sewing machines and essential tools, their confidence began to bloom. What started with hesitation soon turned into joy as they created bags, dresses, blouses, turbans, and traditional garments. In just eight months, their Community Tailoring Center achieved business worth ₹1.5 lakhs — income that now supports their families with pride and dignity.

“Today, I wear a sari bought with my own earnings,” Vaibhavi says, her voice full of joy. Together, these women are not just stitching clothes — they are stitching dreams, hope, and a brighter future.
