Whenever I walked through the village, Pooja had a welcoming smile and we would chat about her day.

‘I want to be a tailor … ’

Pooja Kumhar is from Andore village and lives in her family home with her mother and her daughter, Dia, whilst her husband works out of district.

With the name Kumhar, her family is originally from the potter/clay artisan community.

She dreams of becoming a tailor but for now, her days are spent entertaining Dia and helping with her mother’s vegetable stand.
