05/06/2024 India (International Christian Concern) – Radha is from a small village in India where her and her family’s Christian faith and marginalized status shaped her outlook on life. Limited by her family’s financial constraints, Radha could only pursue studies up to the intermediate level. Despite facing financial and social hardships, she worships the Lord every week at her local church.
Last summer, ICC paid for Radha to take beautician training. She attended the courses regularly and graduated from the program with dreams of establishing a beauty parlor of her own in the village to support her family.
“I am not able to start by own shop, but I’m seeking God for His help to come soon,” she said.
Her prayers were answered when ICC helped her open her own beauty parlor in the village. Her business not only gives her a sustainable income but also the dignity of being the proud owner of the business establishment that she runs with the skills she’s learned.
“You stood by my side and provided me with the opportunity to receive training as a beautician. Your unwavering support and encouragement was truly a blessing to me,” Radha said. “With your assistance, I am able to get employment in the beautician shop which not only created employment opportunities for me, but also allowed me to become financially independent. The investment made in this venture has been a tremendous blessing for my family, as it has provided us with a stable source of income and a brighter future. Thank you so much!”
