Sanita Roka Chhetri's life changed overnight when her husband became paralyzed, leaving her as the sole provider for her entire family. With no formal skills and limited education, the weight of this responsibility could have broken her. Instead, it lit a fire. Sanita began searching for any opportunity that would allow her to earn and care for her loved ones with dignity.
When she heard about the free skills training program at Yes Helping Hand, she enrolled without hesitation. The training wasn't easy. Learning to knit cashmere sweaters requires patience, precision, and a steady hand. But Sanita approached every lesson with the kind of determination that only comes from knowing that failure is not an option. Within months, she had mastered the craft.
Today, Sanita works in the wash section at Yes Helping Hand, where she knits cashmere sweaters for women and handles the washing and finishing of completed garments. Each sweater passes through her hands twice, once during creation and once during finishing. She also knits woolen beanies and caps during her shifts. Her work ethic is admired by everyone at the workshop.
Sanita produces about 20 pieces per month, splitting her time between knitting new garments and ensuring the quality finish of others. Every piece she touches reflects the care of someone who understands exactly what this work means, not just a job, but the difference between her children eating well or going without.
At Yes Helping Hand, Sanita has found more than income. She has found a community of makers who share similar struggles and who lift each other up daily. Her story is one of a mother's unbreakable will and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life from the ground up.
