As the UN marks its 80th anniversary in 2025, CGTN is teaming up with global creators for the ‘One Home: Shared Future’ campaign—an invite to young people everywhere to share their hopes for humanity. 🌏✨
Meet Sheeba Unnikrishnan from Thrissur, Kerala—a woman from a fishing family whose husband’s daily catch barely covered their bills. 🎣 Life was a constant hustle, and dreams of a stable home felt distant.
Everything changed when the local Society for Assistance to Fisherwomen (SAF) pitched in with training, a small startup fund, and technical know-how. Armed with eco-friendly paper plates, Sheeba launched her business—no fancy MBA, just passion and hard work. 🍽️💪
After getting her plates on the market, word spread fast. Her affordable, sustainable service became a hit at local festivals—imagine those vibrant Onam feasts plated on her creations! 🎉🌿
Today, Sheeba’s family proudly calls a new house their own 🏠, cruises around in a car 🚗, and her kids are hitting the books with top-notch education. 🎓 What started as a small side gig has become a legacy of resilience and hope.
Sheeba’s story reminds us that with the right support—training, funds, tech tips—anyone can level up. Ready to share your vision for a shared future? Join the movement and let’s build one home for all. ❤️🚀
