Tapasi is one of our first members. She was a house wife. Her husband work as a van puller. Their family relied mainly on his income. Her husband could barely support his family. She lived on one acre of land in a small thatched hut that leaked during the monsoon. Her husband’s earning would dry up every time when there was heavy rain in monsoon. Tapasi thought it would be good to invest in grocery .

Sampark had just started distributing loans in 2006 when Tapasi took a Rs. 7000 loan to invest in Business, which augmented her meager income. She started her business with a small grocery shop and later she changed her business to shoe making . Today, Tapasi is in her 10^th loan cycle and taken Rs. 40000. She is doing very well in her business .Now She lives in a solid home with a clay-shingled roof. This hard-won financial independence allows her to support her three children, who are the first generation in her family to attend school.
