Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown my blog so far. I hope you enjoy reading my 5th blog as much as the previous ones. Today, I want to share a special experience—my business visit from our WAWCAS trainer, Deepak.
After completing the seven-day training, Deepak came to my home, and this took me by surprise. But then I remembered his words from earlier: he had mentioned visiting each of our homes to see if we had started our businesses.
After some humble conversation, he asked me how I began my business. Talking about it was an emotional moment because starting my own business has been a truly remarkable achievement. My eyes welled up with tears as I recalled the difficult days of working as a daily wage laborer due to my family’s poor financial condition.
I am deeply grateful to the WAWCAS team for selecting me as a member and giving me a platform to challenge those difficult times. They showed me the right path to improve my financial situation and build something of my own.
Before the seven-day training, we had a few meetings, home visits by the trainer to encourage me to join WAWCAS, discussions with my family members, and conversations about choosing the right business. These moments laid the foundation for my decision to start a pig farming business, which fills me with immense joy today. I believe it will be a profitable venture compared to others.
Although I have some experience in pig farming, I know it will require significant time and dedication. I have already made progress by purchasing bamboo for the shed, completing the concrete construction, and buying two pigs. Thanks to my family’s help, we were able to start the business quickly. Deepak congratulated me on my startup and encouraged me to stay committed to it.
A few days later, Deepak returned with Sangeeta Shrestha for another visit. I greeted them warmly, and Deepak told me they had come to see the business.
As they asked questions about my business, I found myself reflecting on Deepak’s earlier words about why they started the WAWCAS Program—to uplift women like me. It filled me with pride when Sangeeta expressed that she liked the progress I had made. I wanted to speak more with her, but she had to continue visiting other members.
In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Program Director and the entire WAWCAS team for such an incredible program. A special thanks to the trainer for selecting me as a WAWCAS member. I hope this business changes my life for the better, and I look forward to the journey ahead.
Thank you all for reading.
