Mamta

Didi Jewelry Project Artisan Mamta

Mamta is a kind, hardworking mother.  She and her husband are both HIV positive. Their two sons are healthy and eagerly studying.  Her husband has a small tea stall, but he barely earns two dollars a day and often is too sick to work.  Mamta is happy to have learned a skill and earn money for her family.  Jewelry making did not come easy to her at first, but she has persevered so that she can create a better life for her sons.  Her determination is inspiring.  She enjoys singing and dancing and often creates a pleasant work break by breaking into song and dance, followed with contagious laughter.
