Prabha

​She was beautiful, gentle, motherly yet powerful.

It was a bright sunny day and she leaves her home with her little grand-daughter Rhea following her happily.

Prabha would drop Rhea to her school bus stop every morning, meet all her friends at the temple, buy vegetables and fruits for the day, return home and start working on her fabrics. Embroidery was her passion.

Although her brother was sent to the best school, she never got a chance to visit one. Her only job was to pack her brother’s lunch box. Even when the entire family wanted Prabha to learn only cooking and other household work, her mother never gave up. She taught Prabha the art of using needle and thread.  Prabha’s imagination and understanding of the colors and design reflected exquisitely in her products.

She could make any plain cloth look beautiful.

Prabha was married at the age of 17. She was loaded with responsibilities and opposition from her family to run her small business but the woman, very much like her mother, never gave up. She always kept her passion alive.

Her effort and never give up attitude helped her stay independent all her life. Even today when she stays with her son, she is able to support herself and the entire family. She also teaches her little Rhea to live life with her head high always.

If you are determined, no hurdle is big enough to stop you from
achieving what you want.
