“I was almost penny less, Bandhan has uplifted me from the miserable condition and made my life livable”, says Anjana Biswas.
“There was time when we even could not feed ourselves properly, we had to go hungry. But now I can even order food from a hotel and when my children ask for it I don’t even hesitate for a moment.”
