Background: G. Latha, wife of Jangaiah, has faced significant struggles throughout her life. With only a 9th-grade education, she found it difficult to secure a stable job.

Financial pressures and ongoing family issues left Latha searching for a way to contribute more to her household.

The Turning Point: Latha’s life took a positive turn when she came across the Hope Project, an initiative by Shine NGO. This project offered a beautician course aimed at empowering women with valuable skills to achieve financial independence. Seeing this as a chance to improve her circumstances, Latha eagerly enrolled in the program.

The course, delivered by experienced instructors, equipped her with the necessary skills to pursue a career in the beauty industry. Latha found the supportive environment of the Hope Project to be instrumental in building her confidence and competence.

Overcoming Obstacles: Balancing her training with family responsibilities was challenging, but Latha remained determined. The encouragement from her instructors and fellow participants at the Hope Project motivated her to keep going, even when the challenges seemed overwhelming. As her skills improved, Latha began offering beauty services to her community, slowly building a reputation as a skilled beautician.

Success: Today, Latha runs a successful home-based beauty business. Her expertise as a beautician has not only provided her with a reliable income but has also given her a renewed sense of self-worth and independence.
