Kantha Kumari’s story

I am Kantha Kumari, an 18 year old teen studying in grade 10. My father’s name is Sukumar and he works in a School as an Attendant.  My mother is Home maker. We are 4 girls and I am the eldest. We are all dependant on my father’s salary. He earns Rs. 4,000/- ($ 90) per month. We don’t own a house, and stay in a rented house.

We have debts of around l lakh rupees ($ 2,500). Our grandparents  from the village help us financially, because we would not be able to manage on our own. All of us sisters are studying in government run schools, because we cannot afford to go to private schools. I would like to study further, but I know my family cannot afford it.

One day my father met Rajesh sir and came to know about HOPE foundation and the free courses offered by it. I immediately joined in DTP course and I am doing well. I look forward to finishing my course soon and get a job in a good company. I can then help my father financially, clear debts and study further.

Thank you, George, for sponsoring my computer course, which will help me and my family.
