Meet Asha
"After my burns, I didn’t want my husband to bear the weight of the hospital bills alone. To help him out, I learned how to sew but still I wasn’t earning enough. RISE reached out to me and helped me sell my products outside my country. My heart feels lighter knowing that I can help out my husband with the hospital bills."
Asha is a burns survivor who lives in Kathmandu, Nepal. She is married and has a son. She was burned in a gas explosion.
