Suguna, a single parent works in the pantry of a private
organization earning a salary of Rs.3500 per month. Her husband passed away
last year, forcing her to take up work to feed and educate her children. Living
in a 100 square feet room which she shares with another family, she is trying
hard to make ends meet by working nearly 12 hours a day.
She has three children – two girls and a boy-who are eager to go to
school. Their school fees come up to more than Rs.10000 per child each year.
Varshini is the second child who is studying in third standard. Due to lack of
funds, she had stopped going to school. The first daughter is in fifth standard
and the son studies in UKG.
The mother has secured some money on loan for the 1st few
months’ fees and is confident of managing the fees on one child. She
seeks monetary support for the education of Varshini.
The Adhyapana Trust is sponsoring the school fees of Varshini. She has started going to school again. Note: Details like school/college name, photos, names of the family
and supporting documents have been withheld to protect the identity of
the student.
