Anshu wants to join the police force

Anshu Kumari is 15 years old and lives in the village of Makhena in a two room hut without electricity and adequate sanitation, but with water. Her father, Bhagban Das, is a farmer and her mother, Harveri Davi, is a house wife, and she has six sisters and one brother. Anshu studies in grade 9 at the school run by Pardada Pardadi.

Anshu’s favorite class is English. All of her sisters also attend school. Her parents have taken action to keep all the girls in school, giving them opportunities they themselves never had. Anshu’s father only attended school until the 5^th class and her mother never went at all. After she finishes school Anshu would like to join the police force in a nearby town called Dibai.

Thank you, Mike and Suzanne, for supporting Anshu in your donation of a new uniform!Also her family owns one cow and two buffalo which is used for milk and a source of labor.
