Background

Siya Kanwar, a 29-year-old resident of Kansingh ki Seed, lives with her husband, mother-in-law, and two school-going children. Her husband works as a farmer, while Siya manages her household responsibilities alongside her engagement with TAC at the Kansingh ki Seed center.

Balancing family, home, and creative work has not been easy. Yet Siya has approached every challenge with resilience, determination, and dedication. Her story reflects the strength of women who navigate traditional responsibilities while pursuing their dreams, making her an inspiration to both her family and community.

Skills and Craftsmanship

Siya’s Craftsmanship:

Siya has always had a natural flair for art and handwork, particularly in wall art. Growing up in Kansingh ki Seed, she had limited access to formal training, but her passion for creativity never waned. She honed her skills informally through observation and consistent practice.

Joining TAC provided her with:

  • Structured training in traditional and contemporary wall art

  • Modern tools and guidance to refine her techniques

  • Development of professional-level craftsmanship

Her work is characterized by meticulous detail, aesthetic elegance, and originality, preserving and modernizing traditional artisanal techniques while contributing to her household income.

Inspiration

Siya draws inspiration from the collaborative environment at TAC, where women from diverse backgrounds share skills, ideas, and creative energy. Witnessing her peers experiment with colors, textures, and designs encouraged her to push her own creative boundaries.

This shared learning and encouragement expanded Siya’s creative horizon, helping her grow as a confident artisan and a proud member of a community that values both tradition and innovation.

Personal Journey

Siya’s journey began with a simple desire: to explore her passion for handwork and craft. For years, she enjoyed creating art at home but had no clear path to make it sustainable. When TAC’s Kansingh ki Seed center opened, her family encouraged her to participate.

Today, Siya earns an income that helps meet her family’s needs, including her children’s education, while contributing to the household. She has become a role model for other women in her village, showing that talent can lead to empowerment and inspiration.

Impact

Siya’s Empowering Journey:

  • Economic Impact: Gains financial independence by contributing to her family’s livelihood.

  • Social Impact: Inspires other women in her village to pursue creative skills.

  • Personal Impact: Developed confidence, pride, and ambition, balancing family duties with professional growth.

  • Generational Impact: Serves as a positive example for her children and peers in the community.

Siya’s journey exemplifies TAC’s mission: creating sustainable livelihoods, fostering creative expression, and building confident, self-reliant women.

Personal Note

Dear WomenServe Team,

My name is Siya Kanwar, and I am from Kansingh ki Seed. I am 29 years old, married, and live with my husband, mother-in-law, and two children. Before TAC came to my village, I loved creating art but had no way to turn my passion into a meaningful pursuit.

Thanks to your support, I have learned wall art professionally, earned an income to support my family, and discovered a sense of empowerment, confidence, and purpose. I contribute to my household, help educate my children, and take pride in creating art that honors both tradition and innovation.

None of this would have been possible without your generosity. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to grow, inspire, and make a difference in my community.

With deep appreciation,
Ms. Siya Kanwar
