Each day at Sari Bari begins with songs and words of encouragement. The place comes to life when the women start their tasks, sitting on the floor or behind sewing machines.

Laxmi, a Sari Bari employee, checks the work and stitching on a finished piece, the final step in the process before sending the work out or to inventory.

Women cherish a photo of themselves with Sarah Lance, and refer to her as their big sister.
