Leki Wangmo, 29, joined a construction firm recently. She doesn’t know the name of the company that employed her. She joined the company as soon as she got the opportunity not even questioning the kind of job.

Leki needed the job. Seven months ago before her new job, Leki was a waitress in a Thimphu hotel. She lost her job owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. After leaving the job in May, she depended on the Druk Gyalpoi’s Relief Kidu apart from her husband’s, a salesman, income.

“It was not enough to pay house rent and meet other expenses,” she said. “I wanted work, any kind of work and I was feeling guilty having to depend on the Kidu.”
