Personal Note

Dear WomenServe Team,

My name is Prem Kanwar, and I have been part of the Naya Gaon TAC Center for 1 year and 6 months. During this time, I have not only learned Wall Art and embroidery but have also discovered a path to self-reliance, personal fulfillment, and confidence.

Before joining TAC, my life revolved around household duties, caring for my three children, and supporting my husband in agriculture. I often felt limited by responsibilities and social expectations. Your support has changed that. The training, guidance, and mentorship have helped me explore my creativity, build confidence, and create a meaningful contribution for my family.

Today, I can contribute financially, earn respect, pursue my passion, and inspire other women in my village. Your generosity has empowered me to dream bigger, believe in myself, and transform my life. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity and the lasting impact it has had on my journey.

With deep appreciation,
Mrs. Prem Kanwar
