Dear Well-wishers,
Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch!
Working with rural and tribal girls for higher education of the Jhagadia block and other rural belts of Bharuch district is one of the most fascinating thing for us. Many of the girls have re-enrolled with the efforts by GVT and team, the girls in the school boost our energy for working with them.
In this report, GVT will share a success story of Roshni, who have truly added some lights to her family. Roshni is being supported by GVT while she was studying in class 9th. She had left the school due to daily travelling from her village to school. GVT members supported her and re-enrolled her in class 9th. GVT provided her school materials, uniform, bicycle and other support for her schooling. After completing 12th she started Computer basic course, which was also supported by GVT. After completing her course she started working in one of the company in Jhagadia GIDC as data entry operator. Her starting salary was INR 10,000/-.
Roshni’s father once was against about her higher education, but now he is the most proud person in the village and always talks about her daughter’s success to everyone. Her father Rameshbhai (Name Changed) is supported her for her job. Roshni gave her first salary to GVT for other girls’ education. And shared that GVT has helped me in completing my education, so I will donate my salary to GVT so that some other girls also can be supported.
Roshni’s family financial condition was not good, but after her job her father got the help from her, it is not about the salary or economic condition of the family but the education, which will help the family to think beyond the myths and taboos of the society.
Let us come together for such girls who can light up the family by education.
