Scripting her own fate
Thank you so much for all your confidence and faith in our work. We are continuously working hard to improve the lives of girls, the first step to do that is by ensuring the continued education of girls. There could not be any better investment for a nation than ensuring their future generations get access to education.
Sunita was from a distant village near Ramgarh, living with her parents and three siblings. She was always keen to attend college but with hardly any money to survive, she dropped out of 12th class leaving behind the dream of education. In the morning, she would go to a nearby chemical factory with her parents to earn a living. In the evenings she would look after her siblings and learn domestic skills. We identified her and carried out regular meetings and counseling with Sunita and her parents motivating them to let her study further. Finally, with our ‘Support for Continued Education’ initiative Sunita got access to transport and fee support facility which helped her to go back to college and continue her education. Today, Sunita aspires to become an IAS officer and help other girls like her.
This is just one story from the many successful people that we are working with. All thanks to our most generous supporters and well-wishers like you. Also attached to this report is a special video of girls celebrating Teachers Day.
