With the help of Weaving Destination, now I can stand on my feet and also support my brothers and sister to continue their studies. I could also help my eldest brother financially in his marriage, which is my biggest achievement. Being able to support my brother and to get him married is one of the biggest moments of my life. I get tremendous respect in my family and village after I started working at Weaving Destination.
