From Dependence to Independence: Ambika's Journey 🧵🌱
Meet Ambika Moreya, 33, from Prayagraj. Her connection with Sarthak Livelihood began through her husband and the inspiring women at the centre. With no prior training, she learnt stitching at Sarthak itself. For the last 2.5 years, she has been handcrafting beautiful, environment-friendly products — cloth bags, sling bags, pouches, suits, doormats and more made from sustainable, natural and upcycled fabrics.
Why her products matter for the environment:
🌿 100% plastic-free alternative to single-use bags
🌿 Made from natural, biodegradable fabrics
🌿 Handmade & upcycled — less waste, more love
🌿 Durable, washable & reusable for years
She joined the centre during a difficult time when earning became a necessity. Earlier, she had to depend on others even for small needs.
Today, she earns over ₹4,000/month from her eco-friendly creations.With every bag she stitches, her confidence grows. What was once a need to earn has become a mission — to make homes self-reliant and the planet greener.“Ghar se bahar nikli toh iss sabka pata laga aur aage badhi.”This is more than a livelihood. It's a choice for a sustainable future.
Choose handmade. Choose eco-friendly. Support Ambika.
