Scholarship
Radha, Gogunda
When I was young, my father passed away, and my mother was pregnant. So our financial situation was never good. I never knew when I would have to stop studying.
My Challenges & Transformational Journey
Binu
When I first started teaching there were about 40 students and .it was hard to teach them all. I thought maybe they thought it was too difficult, but then they all came back the next day asking me to teach again, they said we want to learn and play, and they even asked for homework! Now there are 50 kids in my learning center. I want all the kids who have a hard time with school or who have stopped going to come back, study, and fulfill their dreams. I want them all to be able to stand on their own two feet.
Many girls like me have seen transformation in our lives, due to help and support of VIKALP.

Khusboo Nath, Gogunda
My life was limited to a strict routine of school and home, with no freedom to explore beyond that. I was burdened with household chores and experienced unequal treatment simply because I was a girl. In my family, girls were not allowed to speak up or make decisions.

Meri Khushi

I want to study further, I will also teach other girls, I want to be self-dependent. Meri khushi has given to that opportunity; it has given me confidence to raise my voice against child marriage and other gender biases of society.
