Alkaben Vasani, a resilient and talented beauty professional from Ahmedabad, has faced significant challenges due to her locomotor disability, specifically left leg monoparesis. Living with a family of four, Alkaben’s passion for beauty and makeup was often constrained by the limited materials she had at her disposal. Before receiving help from Voice of SAP (VOSAP), she could only provide basic beauty services, earning a modest 1500-2000 INR per month.
In 2024, Alkaben’s life took a transformative turn when she received a comprehensive beauty parlour kit at VOSAP’s enablement event in Ahmedabad. This kit, filled with a wide range of tools and products, empowered her to expand her services and cater to a broader clientele.
Using the beauty parlour kit for 3-4 hours every day, seven days a week, Alkaben and her daughter began offering a wider array of services, including specialized bridal makeup. The advanced tools and products in the kit allowed them to elevate the quality of their work, attracting more customers and significantly increasing their income.
During the off-season, Alkaben now earns 5,000-6,000 INR per month, and during the wedding season, her earnings soar to 10,000-15,000 INR per month. This remarkable increase in income has not only improved her family’s financial stability but also boosted her confidence and sense of independence. Alkaben’s beauty parlour has become a beacon of empowerment and success in her community.
Alkaben Vasani’s story is a powerful example of how access to the right tools and resources can transform lives. The beauty parlour kit provided by VOSAP has empowered her to pursue her passion, support her family more effectively, and inspire others in her community.
