Education For Empowerement
Saloni
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.
My Challenges & Transformational Journey
Geeta
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? They think college is just for boys. But after seeing us go, they’ve begun to understand what girls can do when we go to college too. Before there were only 2 girls in college in my village, but now there are 8. Now other girls want to fight their own fight too. And I know that in the future even more girls will go.
Many girls like me have seen transformation in our lives, due to help and support of VIKALP.

Learning Center
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 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.
