Meet Raziya Shaikh Jalal — a fearless woman from Bicholim, Goa, who turned her personal tragedy into a powerful journey of resilience, leadership, and sustainability.
After the sudden loss of her husband, Raziya took over Muneera Scrap Traders to support her large family. Despite having no formal education, she built a successful scrap business, providing livelihoods to over 20 waste workers and ferrywala families.
With guidance from Sampurn(e)arth, Raziya overcame the challenges of paperwork, formalized her business, and now runs her operations with confidence alongside her son.
This story is not just about waste it’s about strength, belief, and community.
