Born in the Narrow
Lanes, Dreaming of the Courtroom
In the bustling lanes
of Varanasi, the morning hum of totos (electric rickshaws) fills
the air. Among them rides one driven by Sirajuddin, a hardworking father
whose daily labor keeps his family’s small kitchen fire burning.
With ten children
in the family — many now living separately — life has never been easy. His
daughter Fiza Parveen, the sixth among them, grew up watching her
father’s relentless struggle and her mother Laila Nisha’s battle with
illness. Most of the family’s meager income goes toward medicines and basic
survival.
In such a home, the
idea of educating a daughter was seen not as a need, but as a burden.
But Fiza was
different.
She found her world in
books. She dreamed not of comfort, but of change. She wanted to become a
lawyer — a voice for justice, for those who could not speak for
themselves.
When Dreams Met
Resistance
When Fiza told her
family she wanted to continue her studies after high school, silence filled the
room. Her father, tired from years of struggle, said softly,
“Beti, now stop
studying… it’s time to take care of the home.”
That could have been
the end of her story — but fate had other plans.
At that turning point,
the MUSKAN BAI Scholarship Program of the People’s Vigilance
Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) entered her life like a ray of light.
“If I hadn’t received
support from this program,” Fiza says, “I would never have been able to reach
my books again. My parents were not ready, but once they saw my dedication,
they began to support me.”
A New Beginning:
Confidence and Courage
Today, Fiza is a
bright and confident 12th-grade student. She doesn’t just study — she
speaks up. She participates in street plays (nukkad nataks) and
discussions about social justice and human rights.
Her voice, once
silenced by poverty, now echoes with confidence.
She speaks about equality, dignity, and fairness — and dreams of fighting in
courtrooms one day, not for fame, but for the voiceless.
“One day I’ll be a
lawyer,” Fiza says firmly, “so that no poor or helpless person feels alone in their
fight for justice.”
Her story is a living
proof that education is not just about books — it’s about building the power
to change one’s destiny.
A Ray of Hope: The
Power of Support
For girls like Fiza,
scholarships are not mere financial aid — they are lifelines.
Through the PVCHR Scholarship, Fiza received not only the funds to study
but also emotional encouragement, mentorship, and the belief that her dreams
matter.
Each contribution made
by donors has helped break a generational cycle of poverty and silence —
replacing it with learning, voice, and self-worth.
Today, when Fiza’s
father watches her reading late into the night or performing in school plays,
pride replaces hesitation. What was once a “burden” has now become the family’s
greatest hope.
💖 Gratitude That
Empowers Dreams
We extend heartfelt
thanks to Ms. Parul Sharma and the generous donors from Sweden,
whose kindness and continued support make stories like Fiza’s possible.
Your belief in the
power of education has turned barriers into bridges. You have helped a young
girl reclaim her right to dream — and inspired her entire community to believe
that daughters, too, can change the world.
“You didn’t just fund
my education,” Fiza says with a smile, “you gave me my wings.”
The Journey Ahead
Fiza’s journey is still
unfolding. But her direction is clear — toward justice, equality, and hope. She
represents thousands of young girls who, given the chance, can transform not
only their own lives but also the fabric of their communities.
Because when one girl learns,
🌿 a family
grows,
🌿 a community
awakens,
🌿 and a
society takes flight.
🌍 Together, We Are
Creating Change
Through the compassion
of our supporters and the tireless efforts of PVCHR, young girls like Fiza are
rising beyond poverty, gender bias, and social barriers.
Your continued
partnership ensures that every “Fiza” — with a dream in her eyes and courage in
her heart — can find her wings and take flight.
Thank you for being the
wind beneath those wings.
Thank you for believing in education, equality, and empowerment.
