Nilasari was only 4 years old when her mother passed away. She has an older sister and brother and a father who tried to make ends meet by farming cassava on someone's land.
It was the beginning of 2010 when she dropped out her 7th grade and decided to leave her hometown, Rembang -Central Java and went on bus to Surabaya-East Java, searching for a job. Life has been very difficult in her village as his father constantly ill from TB and needs serious treatment. With the high spirit to help her father, Nilasari tried to follow her sister and brother's paths to find work at such an early age in big town.
Faith has brought Nilasari to our home as we were looking for a nanny to babysit our kids.We were instantly love this girl knowing how great she is to our kids. They were just quickly matched.We were never realized that she was only 14 years old!We found out about this when we started to do the charity work for Smile Across Nations three months after she became favorite nanny for our kids.
Today, Nilasari is no longer our nanny but she is one of our supporters for the charity works.
After intensive training in a sewing class, now she is able to produce Lovearth Bags. Nilasari earns $5 per bag that she produced. In one week, she can finished 4 bags that gives her $20 per week or $80 per month. The money she gets now is much higher compare to any other house serving or baby sitting works in our country.
