BETTER LIVES …MORE SMILES

Aisha is 20 years old, before her marriage, she used to reside in Jharkhand. Her family includes 7 members in her family; Husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and their two children. They all adjust themselves to a tiny room due to limited income and resources. Her sister-in-law moved in with them after her husband passed away. Aisha’s husband earns a living by installing CCTV cameras into the buildings. She had appeared for her 10th standard exams but dropped out after she was unable to clear the Science and Maths papers.

After marriage, hr husband and mother-in-law encouraged her to continue her education.

It’s been two years since she has been associated with the BUDS PACE program. She gets support for her education through BUDS initiatives. Now she feels confident and empowered by the knowledge she has gained. She shared, “teachers at BUDS PACE center are sensitive and supportive”, so that she doesn’t feel hesitant while asking questions while clearing her doubts.
