Spinning A Yarn of Dreams

Seeking a way to curb the financial challenges faced by his family, Faiyas Ali started his carpet-weaving business over a decade ago. Although he faced many ups and downs in running this business, he made sure, with his skills and hard work, that the business grew steadily. In 2017, the community business competition KaunBanega Business Leader was organised in his village, which led him to join the Work4Progress programme. Under the programme, he learned about marketing and received capacity-building training, which helped his business to grow. His business has scaled, and he currently employs 18 craftsmen permanently, who come from nearby areas.
