Threads of Hope: How Aasama Wove Her Way to Dignity

In a quiet corner of Kolhapur, where resilience rises with the morning sun, lives a woman whose spirit defies every hardship. Meet Aasama Niyaz Swar — a single mother of two daughters, born with 60% disability, her left hand absent since birth. Life threw storms her way — including the pain of her husband going missing — but Aasama refused to let sorrow define her.

With courage stitched deep in her soul, she began running a modest home-based shop to support her daughters. But dreams of a better tomorrow whispered louder — dreams shaped like fabric, like the hum of a sewing machine she could not afford.

And then, came the helping hand — VOSAP. With a free sewing machine, VOSAP didn’t just gift her a tool — it gifted her a new beginning.

“I’m deeply grateful to VOSAP. This machine gave me a fresh start and a purpose,” she says, her voice wrapped in strength and gratitude.

Today, Aasama earns ₹300–₹400 daily, proudly supporting her family with dignity. She dreams of expanding her tailoring business — not just for herself, but to uplift others like her, to become a beacon for those waiting in silence for opportunity.

✅ She’s self-reliant
✅ She’s financially independent
✅ She’s dreaming bigger
✅ And she’s inspiring others to rise


✨ Aasama is more than a tailor. She is a weaver of courage, a mother with iron will, and a growing entrepreneur contributing to her community’s economy.

Her journey reflects the soul of VOSAP’s Vision 2047 — a future where Specially Abled People lead with pride, contribute with confidence, and inspire with purpose.
