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
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.
Everything changed when I joined Vikalp.
Meetings taught me about important issues like child marriage, violence against girls, and the value of education and sports. In just a few months, I overcame my fears and found joy in playing sports.
I slowly found my voice and the confidence to speak in front of my parents, who started to listen to me. I was initially scared to play sports, fearing what others would think, but with the support of Vikalp and my parents, I grew more confident. Now, I’m determined to keep pursuing my passion for sports and aim to become a police officer one day.
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?
