Neetu is equipped with a marketable skill!

Thirteen year old Neetu, hails from the village of Nagla Gangapur. Her father, Shyauraj, is a farmer, and her mother, Kanti, is a housewife. Her father has a 10^th class education while her mother has none. Neetu has three sisters and a brother, all of  whom live in a two room house with a toilet, hand pump, and electricity. In addition to this, her family owns two buffaloes which provides them with milk and an additional source of income.

Neetu is enrolled in grade 9 at the English medium school run by Pardada Pardadi. She is an attentive girl who likes to sing and dance.What she loves most about school is playing Saturday morning cricket with her friends and learning vocational skills. She loves learning hand embroidery and is an ace at it.

The school wants to give girls like Neetu the ability to learn vocational skills, so that they are able to earn money by either opening a shop or do some tailoring on the side. Along with this, if Neetu needs to earn some extra money, Pardada Pardadi also offers these girls a job after graduation and using their vocational skills is a part of the job description. 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.

Your generous donations, Laurent (x3), UBS (x3), Kunal, Benjamin (x2), Cindy and Shalini (x2) will enable Pardada Pardadi to bear the cost of Neetu’s vocational training for an entire year.

Your generous donation, Laurent, will enable Pardada Pardadi to provide a set of two school uniforms, a sweater, a pair of shoes and socks for Neetu.

Neetu dreams of becoming an air-hostess someday so she can stand on her own feet, but till that happens, your generous donations  would ensure that she gets to attend school and has a marketable skill to fall back on!

Thank you so much, for your support!
