In 1994, a young Sharavva was preparing for celebrations to welcome a new member of their small family. She was eager to turn the leaf on the new journey of motherhood. It was an exciting phase and she was looking forward to spending enjoyable moments nurturing and playing with her child. With life’s unpredictable turn of events, Sharavva’s husband passed away, leaving a grieving and 7 months-pregnant Sharavva worried about what the future would look like.

Being economically dependent on her husband and with little formal training; she was not confident to enter the world of work. Furthermore, she had an infant son to nurture and take care of. For the next few years, she stayed with her parents and brother; spending time with her son and mulling over the next steps which would help her sail through the life that lay ahead.
