Revati - The student determined to change her future.
When eighteen-year-old Revati first joined Street Child’s programme for Musahar girls she was very shy and would not speak in class. Now, her story could not be more different. Revati is an active member of her class, showing a keen interest in literacy, numeracy, learning English, and communicating with her peers.
Before attending the life skills component of the programme, Revati says she was ashamed by her menstrual cycle. Now, this has changed. Revati now knows how to maintain good menstrual health hygiene and know knows how to use sanitary towels, knowledge which she has passed onto her friends, diminishing the taboo which surrounds this topic.
