After Sahid had his truck—his only means
of income—stolen from him in the big
city, he returned home to his Indian village
dejected and in desperate need. At just
the right time, Noorjahan Enterprises
reached that village and was able to offer
jewelrymaking work to the ladies of Sahid’s
household. With tools and training provided
by Noorjahan, the women were quick to
master the new skills and overjoyed to
bring in income for their home. And, not
only that, these women are now teaching
other nearby women how to make costume
jewelry, which brings up the standard of living for the whole community. They are also
learning to save for the unexpected as they
look back at what has happened in their
family. Noorjahan, which means “light of
the world” in Urdu, is becoming a light of
hope for the villages of India.
