Life and business partnership – Malti Devi

admin — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 13:55:01 +0000

Malti Devi, a 28- year-old woman, is suffering from polio (right lower limb) from the age of 2. She
came to Delhi with her husband, after her wedding. Her husband also has polio in his left upper limb.
She worked for seven long years as a household maid to earn Rs 1000 per month which supported
the income of the family. Her husband owns a tea stall in the local area and was earning about Rs
20-40 per day, which was insufficient for the family to meet even the daily requirement needs, let
alone larger expenditures like rent and education of the children. It was in this scenario that she
decided to approach the FOD for financial help in increasing the business of her husband so that,
they can afford better living for the family,

With the help from FOD, under Apna Rozgaar Scheme, Malti Devi and her husband have increased
their profit from the tea stall and tobacco products. They now earn about Rs 200 per day and are
able to meet the needs of the family. They also have a savings account in a bank which has about Rs
18000/- saved for the future. The husband-wife team was helped in expanding their business with
an amount of Rs 7000/- (Rs. 3,500/- each) on December 5, 2010. The savings of Rs 18000, excluding
other daily expenses, is an encouraging example of the efficient use of the funds.

Today she is like any other woman who helps her family, especially her husband in running his tea
stall business. She is actively involved in the functioning and all decisions relating to the house.
Despite her disability, and being a woman from a poor and rural state like Bihar, she, with the help
of FOD, has changed her fate. She smiles when her example is given and says,” We exist because of
you.” The reason behind her smile is her confidence and the financial security that she has been able
to achieve despite her disability, with the help of FOD.

Turning Tables on Disability – Vijay

admin — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 13:52:47 +0000

Vijay was born in Delhi. At the age of three, he got affected by polio in both lower limbs. Vijay used to sell roasted channa masala, along with other snacks from his tricycle. He managed to earn Rs 20 -25/ day from this. This amount was then utilised for getting materials for the next day’s preparation. The business worked well till his tricycle was in good condition. But gradually the tricycle deteriorated in performance and he became helpless and dependent. This was the time he felt his disability was a curse and he could not do much without his tricycle and his small earning source had also gone.
In the beginning he used to live with his brother’s family, but later he moved out as he felt he was a burden on them and they were not supporting him and his small income activity. After learning about the ARS scheme of FOD, he changed his line of business and started selling CDs and cassettes. Currently, he earns about Rs 300-350 per day.

Starting his business with an initial investment of Rs 3500/- he has increased the items by another Rs 2500: a great achievement for a person who was earning nothing at all. He has approached FOD again for a second instalment of funds. FOD recognized and appreciated his efforts and helped him in further expanding his shop. Consequently the sales of the CDs, cassettes, and earnings have also increased. This is an indicator of his success as well as the success of FOD in rebuilding a life through the ARS Scheme.

Today, he has the confidence to teach others that disability is no longer a hindrance in proving one’s ability and desire to be self-dependent. He is an inspiration to others with disabilities, who want to work and become economically self-sufficient.

Where there is a will there is a way – Jai Nath

admin — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 13:40:15 +0000

Jai Nath Singh, a 25-year-old man, has polio in both lower limbs. While unable to stand and walk himself, he has helped another man by helping him to earn a salary of Rs 2200/ month for working in his shop and handling his tea stall.

Like any person with disability ,but with the desire to be self-sufficient and independent, Jai Nath Singh came to Delhi 3 years ago in search of work. After much struggle he found work in a shoe manufacturing factory, in Naraina Vihar, New Delhi, which was quite far from his home in Okhla. He had great difficulty in commuting and hence had to leave the work. Meanwhile, he kept exploring the possibility of earning a living on his own. He moved to Naraina Vihar in Delhi to live with his friends from his village and opened a tea stall in the same area where he had worked previously, and started serving the workers of the same factory. He was earning well but wanted to expand the services offered by his tea stall by adding other eatables to it. He approached FOD for financial assistance which, seeing his zeal and will to grow in life, decided to support him.

The results were fruitful- with his daily savings rising to Rs 200-250/ day. His vision is to increase his potentials by branching out in other areas. For that he has learned mobile repairing and will soon start his centre to teach others and earn. Jai Nath is a perfect example of “Where there is a will there is a way.”

Mamta

admin — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 13:34:30 +0000

Mamta is a 40 year-old Female, with polio in her right lower limb (70%). Mamta & her husband Mahesh (also disabled), have been selling clothes in the weekly flea markets in Kunwar Singh Nagar for the last 10 years.

They have their own cart on which they carry their saleable clothes to the weekly market. They initially earned Rs.6000/- per month only, as they had only a limited stock of clothes due to a lack of resources. Moreover in January 2019, whatever little saving they had, they spent on the construction of their house.

After receiving help from the FOD under the ARS in April 2019, they added stock for the summer season as well. Now they earn Rs.12000/- per month which is twice their earlier income. Hence there is a considerable improvement in Mamta’s financial condition, which is a very positive and encouraging trend.

Suresh Yadav, a 36 year-old male has polio in his left lower limb (65%). He is staying in a rented house on the main road, Najafgarh, New Delhi. For the last 20 years he has been selling fresh fruits juice, as his shop is on the main Najafgarh road outside the Bata Showroom.
However his income per day was only Rs. 200/- to 250/- and he could not expand his business due to lack of financial resources. When he got an interest free loan of Rs. 6000/- he expanded his sales by adding vegetable juice of carrot, beet root etc. to his menu. This was a long outstanding demand of his customers, especially during the winter season. After he started selling vegetable juice he faced some money crunch for stocking vegetables & fruits etc. At that time he applied for help under ARS in his wife, Smt. Leela Devi’s name (who is also disabled). After taking a loan of Rs. 6000/- in his wife’s name, he was able to stock the required amount of fruits & vegetables. With the increased sale of fresh fruit & vegetable juice, he started earning Rs.600/- to 700/- per day extra. With FOD’s support, his monthly income has trebled over time. His financial condition has improved considerably which is a positive & encouraging trend.

Anil Kumar Verma is a 33 year-old man, with Post-Polio Residual Paralysis in both lower limbs(80%). He has been running a shop in his house for mobile repair & recharge, for the last 12 years but was able to earn only Rs. 6000/- per month.

It was very difficult for him to meet the expenditure needs of his family with this meagre income. He also wanted to expand his business, but due to the paucity of funds, he could not do that. Then he learnt about the ARS Scheme of the FOD, where he could get an interest free loan for the expansion of his business. He took a loan from FOD of Rs. 6000/- which he used to start the work of mobile
lead, charger & repairing.

A number of people used to come to him to copy songs in their mobiles and also to photocopy their documents. So after taking the loan from FOD, he has now purchased a computer worth Rs. 7000/- & a small photocopier worth Rs. 3000/-. After venturing into these items, he has started earning Rs. 15000/- pm i.e., his monthly income has increased 2.5 times in a period of only 6 months, which has improved his financial condition considerably and is definitely very encouraging.
