My name is Mery Mallick. We are five daughters and three brothers. I am the third child in the family. I have studied only class 5th. Because of financial problems I have to drop my studies and was helping my parents at home. Then I learned from the “community-based organization” (CBOs) members, that SWAD has started skill development training at Birikote. So, I joined there and got trained in tailoring and started my own business. I get approximately four thousand and support my brothers and sisters to pursue their studies. I am very happy and grateful to SWAD which made me self-reliant
