Phemo joined the USHA Silai School program with the help of AIDA (ANMA (Arunachal Nagaland Manipur Assam) Integrated Development Association)). Phemo and her tribal students are winning their war against poverty and joblessness through the Silai School, a model that even the government now acknowledges. Phemo manages to save some money as well and plans to use it for the wellbeing of her children. For tribal women like her, this financial independence is empowering in many ways.
