Rhadika - The young mother determined to start her own business.
Eighteen-year-old Radhika is a mother to three children and before enrolling onto Street Child’s programme for Musahar girls she had never been to school.
When she first began the programme, Radhika was one of the beginner level students in her class and she couldn’t recognise a single letter or number. Now, Radhika can recognise letters and single digit numbers and as a result is a lot more confident in her own capabilities.
“I am surprised that I have learnt so much already. I want to be able to read stories so I can read to my children. If I learn how to do math, maybe I can one day have my own shop or tea stall without needing anyone to help me with calculations. My mother-in-law and husband are very supportive of me coming to class and I hope that one day I can help them to bring an income into the family.”
