June and July are months of excitements and new beginnings for academic year in India.
We are glad to communicate that all the Vacha participants who appeared for their annual academic exams have moved to the next level / grade and have continued in education without dropping out.
25 girls have cleared their class 10th which is considered as end of school and important educational year in India.
15 more have passed their class 12th exam and have enrolled for Bachelors degree program in various streams. For most of these girls they are the first generation of girls to complete this level of education in their families.
We salute to the resilience of these girls and their passion to study. It has been a struggle for most of them to continue in education due to economic conditions of their families, managing the burden household chores and studies.
Our older Vacha girls and boys helped these girls and their peer boys to apply online for the desired programs.
It was such a warm feeling to see the gesture of these peer facilitators, guiding the applicants with apt guidance under supervision of the team.
Vacha supports girls education if they continue in education past class 7th with monthly scholarship.
Your support has helped us form this scholarship fund and we hope to have your continued support for this cause.
we may get possession of the training centre you all have been donating for by the end of December 2016.
