Radika: A success story from our Muktashala
Radhika was born into a family of ten members with her father being the only bread winner of the family. After learning about the Muktashala intervention Radhika’s father enrolled her for the programme in year 1996 when she was barely 9 years old. Being a bright and enthusiastic child she utilized all the services provided at the facility very effectively. Radhika participated in all the extracurricular activities and was a beneficiary of the educational, nutritional and healthcare support at Muktashala. The monthly meetings with the parents and community helped to make them aware about the importance of education, hygiene etc.
Radhika completed her studies till the 9th grade while being a part of the residential programme and went on to pursue her higher studies. She successfully completed her 12th grade and is now working as a government pre-shool (Anganwadi Teacher) in the Integrated Child Development Scheme(ICDS) Department since 2008. She and her family are thankful to PRIDE India for bringing a positive and lasting change in their lives!
Radhika is one of our first batch of children at this residential facility. Since then the programme has benefitted more than 1000 children and helped them break the cycle of poverty in this remote tribal community.
