Feroza has honed her kite-making skills over the last 26 years. She makes 1,000 colorful kites a day for an average of 100 rupees from her small, dimly lit, two-room home. The work is repetitive and can cause body cramps and pains. She has attended trainings at the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), a trade union for poor, self-employed women in the informal sector, to improve her working environment, and now uses special tables and chairs to make the kites.
