Personal Note
Dear WomenServe Team,
My name is Kanchan Kanwar, and I have been proudly working at the Naya Gaon TAC Center for the past 1 year and 6 months. During this time, I have not only learned Wall Art and embroidery but also discovered a path to self-reliance, confidence, and personal growth.
Your support has opened doors I never thought possible. It has allowed me to contribute meaningfully to my family’s income, easing our financial burden and creating a better future for my children. Before joining TAC, I often felt confined to household duties, and my dreams seemed distant. Now, thanks to your generosity, I have a new identity, a sense of purpose, and the courage to pursue my passion.
Beyond practical skills, your support has given me hope, confidence, and belief in my own potential. It has shown me that with opportunity and guidance, women can overcome barriers and make a real impact in their families and communities. I am deeply grateful for being part of TAC, for growing as an artisan, and for inspiring other women around me.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Mrs. Kanchan Kanwar
