YAF Breaking the Cycle of Majboori and Providing a Life Beyond Survival Mode

Prema who has broken her generational workers mentality said “I am now a role model to my son as he has seen my transition from accepting unjust working conditions at a job to personal and financial freedom through my business. He will be motivated to be a job creator and not seeker and learn my techniques. I want him to dream. ” Prema Chaudhary from Thane said. She developed a swollen stomach from skipping meals due to unfair work demands. After a long journey, she decided to start her jewellery selling business but failed and decided to quit but dreaded going back to a job. That’s when she met YAF. The system builds fear in them to take risks. Then she took YAF’s training and through our tried and tested formulas of calculated risk she got her business back on her feet and escaped from a job. She now invests in passive income and builds her son's future to not fall in the trap of majboori. Why do people from low income groups accept the financial, emotional and physical injustice ? Majboori, the biggest dream killer of the country.

Living up to our motto- “Do not work for money, let money work for you.” : “Thanks to YAF’s guidance, I now set aside some money from my profit in mutual funds for passive income.” she said

What she says sets us apart from most organisations: “I am sceptical when NGO’s approach as there are no tangible results but YAF explains to us points until we understand it. They take continuous revisions until they see us getting results.”

Confidence to expand brand: “First my clientele was only my neighbours but YAF taught me how to communicate and network with business owners of similar target audience, now i crack deals with saree sellers to market my jewellery.”

Risk taking and financial literacy, The game changers: “What revived my business was when they told me to put offers on my products at risk. I started doing stock inventory and calculating income and expenditure, even if it was for one piece.” she said.
