HOW SUPPORT FROM ESI TRANSFORMED SABITRI’S LIFE

Barahakshetra, Sunsari | July 2025Sabitri’s life changed forever when her husband was swept away by the Koshi River four years ago. Left alone with two young children and suffering from a chronic stomach illness, she was forced to send her children to work as daily laborers just to survive. School was no longer an option, it was about putting food on the table. Since joining the ESi Mom program, Sabitri now receives a weekly basic income that covers food, clothing, and other essential needs. Her children no longer work in the fields, they now attend school regularly with perfect attendance. Sabitri has also learned bamboo weaving, giving her a new source of income and pride. Today, she dreams of a brighter future where her children can grow up with opportunity, dignity, and hope.

SINGLE MOTHERS EMPOWERED THROUGH FINANCIAL LITERACY WORKSHOP

Barahakshetra, Sunsari | July 2025In Barahakshetra, the ESi Mom Financial Literacy Workshop brought together hundreds of our ESi Moms to build confidence in managing their finances through the ESi mobile app. Participants learned to monitor their weekly basic income balances, send and receive funds using the app or their ESi ID cards, and understand key concepts of financial literacy. The training also equipped them to track USD exchange rates and negotiate more effectively with local merchants—ensuring fair pricing when using ESi App to make purchases. This initiative emphasized the importance of financial awareness and self-reliance within the ESi Mom community.
