Project Ujyalo Bhabisya - Case Study - Ratna Kumar Ram
Case Studies
Ratna Kumar Ram now earns up to 10 times his previous daily takings (c25p-£1 a day) from making shoes.
Ratna is from what is traditionally seen as the untouchable shoe-making caste, but had only ever repaired shoes. Ratna feels that one of the greatest benefits of participating has been his increased confidence in social situations and an increased awareness of his potential. With the additional income Ratna has been able to spend time teaching his nephews the skills he has gained.
