EDUCATION

LEARNING CENTRES FOR CHILDREN SUCCESS STORY OF SNEHA

Sneha belongs to a poor family in Dwarka

area of Delhi. Her family consists of five

members including her mother who works

as a housemaid, her two sisters and a

brother. Her father got separated from her

mother and left the family long before.

Sneha used to dream about studying up to

higher levels and getting a well paid job so

that she can help her family financially.

However, the meager sum earned by her

mother was hardly enough to satiate the

hunger of five. Sneha had to give up educa-

tion after after 8

th

standard due to financial

crisis and she started working as a house-

maid, like her mother.

One day a mobilize from URIDA visited her

family and encouraged her to attend train-

ing in beauty culture. She was overjoyed to

hear that there was no fee involved and she

would be given all the training materials free

of cost. She completed the six months

course with enthusiasm and passed with

Grade A. Afterwards she started giving par-

lour services at customers ’ place, which

generated a lot of opportunities for her

through mouth to mouth publicity. She cre-

ated a lot of permanent customers which

assures her an income of Rs.10,000 -15000

every month. She is very happy and satis-

fied with her job and now she is able to look

after the expenses of her siblings ’ educa-

tion and family expenses.

Sneha ’ s dream now is to open her own

Beauty Parlour and set herself as a role

model for poor and deprived

adolescents and women.
