Rachna loves learning computers at school!

Fifteen year old, Rachna hails from the village Makhaina. Her father, Chandravir, is a doctor, and her mother, Roopvati, is a housewife. She has two brothers and one sister whom all live in a two room house; Rachana’s family has no toilet, no hand pump (her family uses the local hand pump for water), and they have no electricity. One of Rachana’s responsibilities is just housework which can include cooking, cleaning, and helping her mother when she needs it. Furthermore, Rachana’s family has two buffaloes which provides them with milk and an additional source of income.

Rachana is studying in grade nine, in a school run by Pardada Pardadi. She is a bright and engaged girl. Her sister, Rubi, is also studying in the 8th grade at the same school. One of Rachana’s favorite things about school is getting to learn how to use the computers in the computer lab. She also likes to draw paintings in the program called Paint. In addition to this, her favorite subject is Math, and she loves to play games, especially football and cricket. When Rachana finishes school, she wants to become a doctor, just like her father and takes school extremely seriously. She had an excellent attendance record of 99% last year!

Pardada Pardadi has chosen to open a school in the area that Rachana 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!

Thank you so much, Brigid, for supporting Rachana with a set of two school uniforms, a sweater, a pair of shoes and socks that will last her an entire academic year.
