Nisha, 23
Nisha is married and has
two small children. Her husband is a carpenter. She needs to learn English in
order to help her children with their school work. When she reached 8th
Standard, her parents would no longer support her education, and she feels the
Youth Empowerment Program is now a huge opportunity. Her mother-in-law looks
after her children while she attends, but Nisha has many other household
duties. She works hard to be a good mother and a good wife.
She would like to
have a part-time
job in the future to support her family.
