Zubaida Bano, 37, originally from Bihar and now living in Jamia Nagar, New Delhi, has always believed in working hard to support her family. Determined to contribute to the household, she spent several years using her tailoring skills to earn a modest income while caring for her husband and three children.

Over time, Zubaida realized that she needed to explore new ways to increase her earnings and create greater stability for her family. With courage and determination, she started a small business selling ladies’ bags in her local community. Although the idea showed promise, limited financial resources made it difficult for her to purchase enough stock or offer a variety of designs to attract more customers.

At this important stage, Masawat Livelihood Foundation stepped in with financial support of ₹40,000. With this assistance, Zubaida was able to purchase a new and diverse collection of bags, giving her business the boost it needed.

The impact was immediate. With better stock and more options for customers, her sales began to improve, increasing both her income and confidence. Today, Zubaida proudly runs her small business, managing it with dedication and optimism.

Her journey reflects the power of perseverance and opportunity. What began as a small effort to support her family has now grown into a source of stability and hope. For Zubaida, this business is more than just a means of income—it is a step toward a brighter and more secure future for her children.
