Sumati, a 55-year-old married woman from Imphal East district in Manipur, supports a household of six members, including four children, one of whom is still in school. She runs her own weaving business, which brings in a monthly household income of INR 25,000. With household expenses totaling INR 15,000 per month, Sumati manages to support her family while leading a group of six skilled weavers.
To grow her business, Sumati has applied for a group loan of INR 330,000 from Chanura, one of Milaap's lending partners. This loan will enable her to purchase weaving thread in bulk, allowing her to expand her inventory with items like Phanek (a traditional garment for women), Khudei (a traditional garment for men), woolen shawls, and more.
The increased income from these products will further expand her business, providing her family with greater financial independence and improving their quality of life by making healthcare and education more accessible.
Sumati, along with her friends and their families, will be deeply grateful for your support.
