When Mohammed Peer Banu first arrived at her husband’s home in Eruvadi village in Tirunelveli as a young bride, she brought along a sewing machine to help her make a small living. Coming from a family of tailors, her brother had taught her the basics while she was still in school, and the young bride was
determined to bring in a small income.
Over the years, the need to educate three children saw her exploring other ways to make money. She had heard about a basket making training programme that was run by the Srinivasan Services Trust (SST) through which she could increase her income.
