Impact Story
Bebi Didi’s journey shows how small opportunities can bring big changes. She grew up in Bihar and moved to Delhi NCR thirteen years ago. For many years, she was a homemaker, busy with household work and caring for her family. She had no experience in crafting and never imagined herself making handmade products.
Things changed when she joined a short 15‑day crochet training program. In just two weeks, she learned the basics of crochet and discovered a new passion. Today, she creates crochet flowers every day. She manages her home and, at the same time, uses her new skill to support her children’s education.
Her story is not only about learning a craft—it is about confidence, independence, and hope. From someone with no background in handmade work, she has become a skilled artisan. This transformation reflects Mon Ami’s mission: to provide women with sustainable opportunities and to build equal partnerships.
By offering training and support, Mon Ami helps women like Bebi unlock their hidden talents. Her journey proves that with the right guidance, anyone can turn creativity into opportunity and make a better future for themselves and their families.
Impact Story
Meenu, a 40‑year‑old artisan from Darbhanga, Bihar, has lived in Noida for two decades. Four years ago, she joined
Mon Ami Foundation, stepping into the world of handmade crafts for the first time. With only an 8th‑grade education and no prior work experience, she discovered a new sense of purpose through crochet. Training with master craftsmen helped her refine her skills, building confidence and precision in her work. Beyond financial support for her children’s education and household expenses, Meenu found joy in creating, independence in earning, and community in connecting with fellow artisans. Today, she embraces her craft not just as a livelihood but as a source of pride. Meenu believes effort should be rewarded with opportunity, and she dreams of producing more crochet pieces to support her family while carrying forward the heritage of handmade artistry.
Impact Story
At Mon Ami Foundation, we believe in the power of opportunity and the strength within every individual. Sarita Devi, originally from Sheikhpura Zila, Bihar, now resides in Noida Sector 120 with her husband and three children. Before joining Mon Ami Foundation, Sarita had limited experience in sewing and stitching. It was Asha Didi, a fellow artisan, who introduced her to the world of craftsmanship, setting her on a path of transformation.Sarita’s journey has been one of resilience and empowerment. Initially hesitant about her working, her husband now wholeheartedly supports her endeavours. She primarily works from home but actively participates in product development, eagerly coming to the office whenever new designs need to be learned. Beyond securing financial independence, she has gained confidence, purpose, and a sense of belonging. Her impact extends beyond her own household—Sarita has introduced five more women to Mon Ami Foundation, guiding them toward self-reliance and financial stability.
