Maya shares why she loves being able to knit during her free time so she can balance being a mother and bringing extra income to her family. She says that this job allows her kids to be happy which makes her happy!

Using learned knitting skills from childhood, the knitters, all female, are able to earn income in their spare time, between caring for their family. If it was a full-time job, the knitters would not be able to take on work as their family needs come first. By earning income, the women also earn a stronger voice in their household.
