College Awaits Sudha!

Sixteen year old Sudha comes from the village of Badpura and is currently studying in class 9B.

Her father, Lakahmi, is a farmer while her mother, Malvait, is a housewife; both of her parents have no education. Sudha’s family that includes her two brothers and one sister – all live in a two room house which has no electricity or a toilet. They use a hand pump for water when they need it. Also, they have two buffaloes which is used as a source of labor and milk for the family.

Sudha has only joined Pardada Pardadi in 2008; before which she attended a school in the village of Pota. However, her family saw the benefits of putting Sudha in Pardada Pardadi such as a better education and the ability to have a job when she graduates. When Sudha graduates from school, she would like to go to college in Anupshahr and become a teacher!

Pardada Pardadi has chosen to open a school the area that Sudha lives, so that these girls can get an education and have the ability to have a job after they graduate. Supporting these girls will ensure the success of them!

With your generous gift, Sudha can now participate in valuable vocational training, where she can learn to decorate many types of gorgeous home textiles through machine embroidery. With this knowledge, Sudha would later be able to earn money by opening her own machine embroidery shop from home. This would give her income to spend on her family, and more importantly, provide her with greater decision-making power than women usually have in her village.

Thank you so much, Laurent, for supporting Sudha by donating  a year of vocational training and set of  two school uniforms, a sweater, a pair of shoes and socks for Sudha.

Your support will ensure that she gets to attend school regularly and learn a marketable skill, giving her a source of livelihood!
