ZingnZest is a flagship initiative of ACCESS supported by CITI foundation that seeks to empower 200 women from low income households to become micro entrepreneurs in the food processing industry.

I know MY RIGHTS


Self-determination is a right, not a privilege. The circumstances in which one is born should never pre-determine his/her destiny. Everyone must be entitled to same human rights and equality.
POOJA

Pooja also aspires to have same rights as that of her husband to work and earn a living. It was under the initiative of ZingnZest that she got this opportunity. Pooja comes from a low income family while her husband works in a small private company, which does not give them enough to raise their 2 children. But ever since she has joined ZingnZest, Pooja is happy to work and contribute to the family income.

Earlier, she used to stitch clothes to earn a living but that did not gave her the same happiness and satisfaction which she feels working for ZingnZest. The safer environment, and work which does not strain her eyes is too good for her. She feels independent and empowered now. Her family was very supportive and never stopped her from doing the work. It also feels delightful to see how her children support her. 
She gained knowledge, experience, and developed her skill after joining this enterprise. She wishes that the products made by them would reach more customers and liked by them so that she gets more regular employment. She feels that she utilizes her time more efficiently than ever.
