From Struggle to Stability: Saritha Earns ₹4,000 –₹6,000 Per Day with HASSS Support

T. Saritha, a member of Karuna HASSS Mahila Sangam in Suraram Colony, faced constant financial strain while raising two children. Her husband, T. Innareddy, ran a small chicken shop with limited space, poor interiors, and very few chicks due to lack of capital. Daily earnings were uncertain, and meeting household and education expenses was a struggle. With hope for change, Saritha approached HASSS and received a loan of ₹1,00,000. The amount helped them upgrade the shop, improve the interiors, purchase more chicks, and arrange proper feed. The transformation was remarkable. The improved shop attracted more customers and increased sales. Today, the couple earns ₹4,000 to ₹6,000 per day, bringing stability, dignity, and renewed confidence to their family life.

Eeramma Now Earns ₹15,000 Per Month Through HASSS Support

S. Eeramma, a member of Pavitra Mahila Sangam in Suraram Colony, struggled to sustain her family through their small kirana shop, the only source of income. With two children studying in degree and intermediate, financial pressure was high. Due to limited capital, the shop carried minimal stock, leading to poor sales and low returns. Seeking support, Eeramma approached HASSS and received a loan of ₹50,000. She used the amount to expand the shop and stock a full range of groceries and household items. This timely support transformed their business. Increased variety attracted more customers, significantly boosting sales. Today, Eeramma earns around ₹15,000 per month after expenses, ensuring better education and stability for her family.
