Women's Literacy Empowerment Program

Helping women rediscover their hidden potentials

Testimonials

The women we work with share their stories and what this program means to them.

“My husband can’t work due to physical health problems. I therefore took small loans from various banks to raise cows and goats, which helps me take care of my family.

The loan officer cheated us in the weekly loan repayments because I didn’t know the amount of money I was supposed to write.

Yet because of this program I learnt math and the alphabet. The loan officer can’t cheat me anymore. We are forever grateful to the school.”

Zinu

I have 3 daughters, all married with kids. I listen to my grandchildren read when they study. I really wish I also could but I couldn’t tell anyone. I was very ashamed.

Because of the school program, I can read and write now. The school fulfilled my hopes and dreams. Thank you.

Anita

I have 2 sons and a daughter. I couldn’t attend school as a child because my family was poor. Being older, I have been able to attend school here. It has given us many benefits. I am learning the alphabet and I can write my name now.

Pratima

I’m 58 years old. I don’t have a husband. I work as a street sweeper to keep the road clean. Education wasn’t possible for me during my childhood. But coming to school here, I now know how to count numbers and I can count easily. No one can fool me.

Thank you.
