Shilpi will soon have a job – Pardada Pardadi

Seventeen year old Shilpi lives in the village of Achalpur in Uttar Pradesh. She was a student at the high school run by Pardada Pardadi, and after completing high school, was not allowed to study further, or take up a regular job. Her family comprises of her father, Suresh Chand who is a farmer, her mother, Vimlesh who is a housewife and three brothers. They live in a three bedroom house.

Shilpi is financially dependent on her father, and like most girls in rural India does not have a say in the affairs of the family. Your donation, Bellevue Rotary, will enable Pardada Pardadi to offer a six month vocational training course to Shilpi, at the end of which she would be guaranteed a job in an all female environment, where she will be allowed to work. This would give her financial independence, she a greater say in her future.

Thank you for your generosity.
