Nemhoi weaves different types of traditional shawls and wraparounds, namely Saipikhup and Khamtang(local name). She makes four to five products per month.

The family has been planning to buy a small plot of land so that they can settle down in their own house for a better life. All members are working hard to save money to buy a plot and Nemhoi, being the main source of income, needs the loan as capital to improve her business.
