Mrs. Selvi

Mrs. Selvi received two loans through the Rural Women Development Organization (RWDO): one in March 2016 and another in August 2017 after she repaid the first (RWDO received an RSWR grant in Spring 2016). She runs a textile business and has been able to triple her monthly income – from $25 to $77! Her family now has a sustainable livelihood, and they were able to install a household toilet.
