News & Resources Jaswinder's Story - a women dairy entrepreneur
Before becoming a LifeBuilder dairy entrepreneur, Jaswinder and her husband Kulwinder lived hand to mouth. The cost of sending their children to school was too expensive for them and their poverty meant that the family's diet consisted of just bread and water. In short their future was bleak.
That was until Jaswinder became a LifeBuilder Women Dairy Entrepreneur and became a cow owner.
Her cow has...
- Allowed her children to go to school.
- Enabled her and her family to eat three nourishing daily meals.
- Helped pay off her loans.
- Given her life skills which help her run the household.
- Given her a sense of pride.
- The opportunity to have calves thus increasing her assets.
- Given her long term sustainable employment.
“LifeBuilder has given me the skills I need to support my family"
LifeBuilder gave Jaswinder a grant to buy a cow, trained her in how to be a dairy farmer, taught her how to manage finances and partnered with a dairy so that she gets a good price for her milk.
