Deepika is from the Triuvanamalai district. She is from an extremely poor family. Her father Mr Mathiyazhaganis works as a poorly paid cooli and her mother Yasotha has no income. Deepika was an excellent Student but because of the familys financial situation, Deepika could not continue her education and fulfill her dream to continue onto 3rd level education. Nandri offered its financial help from its Support for Higher Education program. The funds that we collected through our GlobalGiving project "Educate 100 Dalit Girls" has directly financed Deepikas continued education and she has been able to commence a degree in Bsc Agri. in Nammalvaar College. She will have a promising career and secure future, thanks to your generous support and the help of Nandri. Deepika is so grateful to be given this unbelievable opportunity and sends her deepest thanks to all of you who supported this project for making her dream come true.
Flarancia is an ambitious young woman from a very poor family background. Her father passed away and her Mother, Arockiyammal is struggling to feed her family. She is a cooli on a meagre wage working in agriculture. It is impossible for her mother to keep her children in education. Thankfully with the financial support of Nandri, Flariancia is presently in 2nd year college, studying for a Bcom. degree. Nandri offered Flarancia help from its "Support for Higher Education program" from the funds that we collected through GlobalGiving and thanks to our Donors, she will have a financially secure future ahead of her.
Shali, a very bright and hard working student, belongs to a very poor family. Her father Vijayakumar is a lowly paid Gas Mechanic. The family was struggling to survive financially but knew their bright daughter deserved the opportunity to continue on to 3rd level education. They approached Nandri for support and Nandri offered Shali financial aid from its "Support for Higher Education program" from the funds that were donated through the GlobalGiving project "Educate 100 Dalit Girls". Shali is now in 1st year college doing the course of her dreams, B.tech Food processing and engineering. This would not have been a possibility for her if it wasnt for the generous support of our GlobalGiving donors. Shali sends to each of you her very sincere thanks for helping her to achieve her goal - to become an engineer and to be able to support her family in the future.
This is just the story of three girls out of hundreds that Nandri has been able to help to remain in education, complete degrees and go on to have well paid and fulfilling careers. It is all thanks to you, our generous donors, who enable us to help these girls change the course of their lives. All our girls are so grateful for your financial support and to be given the gift of education and a bright future. From us at Nandri and on behalf of our children, a big "Nandri" to you all.
