Jetunbibi is a 30 years old passionate woman, who always wanted to do something on her own. She was a trained beautician but because of the financial crisis, she was not able to make her dream of being a professional beautician forward. She uses to practice her skills as and when she gets the chance or during the family functions.
Jetunbibi became a member of SaathMahila Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited in the year 2015. Initially, she took a loan of Rs. 10,000/- for her work, which was repaid timely by her. Easy availability of loans and repayment motivated her to initiate her own business i.e. a beauty parlour, for which she needed 30,000/- Rs, which was Rs. 10,000/- more than the norms. She requested her SHG members to provide her loan of Rs. 30,000/- after discussion and looking at her repayment track record group decided to approve her loan of Rs. 30,000/-. Also,the group wanted her to initiate her own business which according to them is a step towards empowerment and independence.
Today Jetunbibi is a known beautician in her area, she earns around 5000/-Rs per month. Jetunbibi is thankful to SaathMahila Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited and her group members for making it possible for her to live her dream.
