Ghandua Sardar
Ghandhua Sardar used to stay with her mother, father, four sisters and a brother at No. 2, Sonakhali, Village: Phool Malancho, Thana-Bashanti, South 24 Parganas District which is far away from Kolkata. At that time her father was working as a farmer on a landlords' farm and his earnings were the only source of income for the family.
At a tender age, while she was in the primary school, she lost her parents. The family lost its only earning member and slipped into uncertainty and poverty. At this point her Uncle requested the Landlord to take Ghandua to Kolkata where she could work for them. As fate would have it she left her home with the Landlord and landed up at his Kolkata home to work as a helper. When she was 17, through one of her friends she came to know about the Life Skill Training Unit of Hope Kolkata Foundation. Thus, through her own efforts she sought admission in the HKF Life Skill Tailoring Unit.

She was a slow learner in the beginning and very soft spoken. But after a few months and counseling sessions she started working fast and became active towards her modules. After finishing her 9 months training she applied for a 3 months internship in a company as an intern which is a part of the course. She was selected by the Boutique PRANA, a renowned designer boutique of Kolkata, as a Tailor on a Package of Rs.3000.00. HKF is in touch with her and is regularly monitoring her progress and growth.
She acknowledged with gratitude – “I would like to thank HKF Training Unit for bringing this change into my life and making me self dependent”.
The Company – Boutique PRANA, Report has commented that Ghandua is a good candidate and that they are satisfied with her performance and offering her a full time job in the same Boutique with the increment as per Company Policy.
