The Begum family has faced many challenges in recent years. All three sisters have lost the ability to walk, which has made them dependent on their mother, who lovingly cares for them full-time. Sadly, the family also experienced the devastating loss of their brother in a car accident, a grief that still feels very raw.
The family was selected for the Rebuilding Lives programme because of their courage and strong desire to create a better future. For a while, they relied on the kindness of neighbors for support, which they found difficult to accept. Their physical circumstances made it hard to find new ways to rebuild their lives.
Since opening their shop, life has taken a positive turn. The sisters now share responsibilities through a rota, taking turns to manage the shop throughout the day. Because their home is right next to the shop, getting to work is easy and accessible. Before this opportunity, the sisters often felt stuck, unable to find employment due to their disabilities. Now, they have a renewed sense of purpose and pride as they work together to build a brighter future.
Overall, the Rebuilding Lives project has brought immense positive change to the Begum family. It has not only provided them with a steady income but also helped rebuild their confidence and given them a stable daily routine that they look forward to each day.
