Learning Center
Joya Banu
I am in class 7. When I went to school I found studying a little bit tough. The teacher would keep telling me to do my work but I didn’t understand, especially in math.
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.

After seeing me leave the village, more girls have gone to college. Our families don’t understand why they want to go. They think that if they send their girls what will they do with the education?

I once thought my education was over after completing my 12th grade. My family was against me studying further but with the help of Vikalp, I constantly had to negotiate with them.

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.
Education For Empowerement

I got married at a young age. I never thought I would be able to continue my education beyond the 12th standard due to a lack of support from my family and in-laws.
