Scholarship for education
helped to stop child marriage and bring hope for girls
Thanks
to Rajdulari Foundation, Ms. Parul Sharma ji and 200 Swedish Donors for support
to Ms. Kamarun Nisha. Please find her testimony:
My name is Kamarun
Nisha. I live in Parmangdapur village in Arjiline Block of Varanasi in
India. My father collects junks/scraps. We are four sisters and two brothers.
My mother sells bangles for the expenses of family. After graduating the
government school from 1 to 8 we four sisters and two brothers needed money for
the further studies. But the earning of my father was not enough. My brother is
working and continuing his studies one more year after class 8. Our studies
were stopped due to the poor economic situation of our family. After that I met
Sobina, a girl from the village and I
got to know about PVCHR and I got
scholarship from grade 9,from which I got to study second year of B.A now. If I
get the scholarship for further studies I would study more. I am feeling really
happy that I have been studying through the help of PVCHR and Rajdulari
Foundation. If I had not got this scholarship I couldn’t have studied by my own
and my parents would have forced me to get married.
I had left the school after
grade 8 and my parents wanted me to get married but I wanted to
study, due to the lack of money I wasn’t
able to study further more. I knew about PVCHR from my friend then I
told to my parents that if they will force me to marry then I would run away. This scholarship
helped me from child marriage and brings hope for higher education. After
study, I want to become teacher and social worker.
