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?
My Challenges & Transformational Journey
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. But now I don’t find it as hard in the learning center. Now our didis help us to remember things and it feels nice to study. Even though we’re all in different classes the teachers make sure we’re all learning. They’re so patient with us and that’s how we learn much better.
Many girls like me have seen transformation in our lives, due to help and support of VIKALP.

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.
