Support Education of 40 Children in Rural India

Dear donors,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust!

In this report Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) wants to share an inspirational story of a young girl from a very small and interior village. Reshma (name changed) is the girl who are getting scholarships from GVT from past three years. Reshma is doing her Nursing from nearby city from her village. She is the only girl from her village who have come out for further studies. In her village boys also do not continue their studies after completing 8 class or maximum 12 class.

GVT has seen there is lack of awareness on importance of education in this village. There are not any single family who have tried to send their children for higher studies, or do not motivate the children for it. In the initial time it was tuff for Reshma for further studies, even while she was doing her higher secondary from the nearby village.

Reshma and her father have fought for education, even Reshma’s mother was not happy about Reshma’s further studies. It is not that they could not manage the fees but there is a culture of getting married in young age, and other social implications. But Reshma have created a best example in the village, and as a result there are many children have started going outside the village for higher studies.

There are four girls with whom our Social Mobilizer have interacted, they shared that Reshma has set an example and could able to aware some of the families in the village for our education, still there are many parents who are not ready for the higher education, but we believe that the change will happen which have started by Reshma.

“Be strong, you never know who you are inspiring.”

It is rightly said, let us become the change like Reshma by doing little good thing for the society, to make it better through education.
