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
Kesar
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. Now I can say that they support me. I am now in my second year of college, took the CET exam and I am helping other girls in my community to access government schemes to have their chances of reaching their dreams.
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?
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.

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.
