I am Rajkumari Sagar. I am 47 years old. I am a widow and have three children. I used to work as a carer in a children's home for 13 years. But due to the pandemic, I lost my job. Now I am a housewife.
I want to open a ‘Fancy Store’; a shop where I want to sell jewellery, accessories and grooming products for women. There are already many other shops in my neighbourhood, but none specifically for these products yet. Currently, women can only shop for these at the market, to which they have to travel. Close to my home, one of my relatives has a shop. In addition, an empty shop premises is available. This is where I would like to open my shop.
After the death of my husband, I went through a hard time. With his death, I also lost financial security. I had no one to support me and my family. I was living in a rented house, but after his death, I couldn't pay the rent, so I had to move to my sister-in-law's house. There are six of us living here now: myself, my three children, my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law.
We live on my mother-in-law's pension money, which is only ₹1000 (€12.50) a month and on my son's income of ₹4000 (€50) a month. This is not enough. With my shop, I expect an average profit of ₹6300 (€79) per month in the first year, in the second year I expect this to increase to ₹8400 (€105).
