Give A Girl A Bicycle - Help Her To Go School

Dear Well-wishers,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch!

In this update report, GVT wants to share a story of Sangeeta (name changed) and her bicycle. In 2014 GVT provided bicycle to Sangeeta, while she was taken admission in 9^th standard after completing 8^th from her village. She took admission because she provided bicycle otherwise she might get drop out from the school. With the bicycle she completed her 12^th standard and now she is doing computer course from a nearby town.

Sangeeta attend the computer class with her father, and now bicycle was not in use by her. So she gave the bicycle to one of her friend who was in need of it for schooling. The same bicycle and the same school but the rider got change. Being inspired by Sangeeta Sarpanch of the village and school head teacher thought to give some bicycles to other needy girls, and the result is four bicycles were given to four girls by the Sarpanch.

While interacting with the Sarpanch, he shared that “I surprised while I came to know about bicycle was given by Sangeeta to her friend for studying further, many of the girls have not able to study further as the village is interior. If Sangeeta can help others than it is my responsibility to support girls for study further.”

Many parents wish their daughters to study further but the distance and economical condition don’t allow them to do so. The 3000 INR bicycle may help a daughter to study further. It might be a small amount for us but it may change the life of some needy girls. Like Sangeeta and Sarpanch let use help to make the change.

“We rise by lifting others.”
