When Team Balika*, Bhojraj Kanwar, rst met Vinita and Varsha, both would slightly huddle together in the corner of the classroom. The girls came from families living out of daily wages to make ends meet. Sol’s ARC developed Gyaan Ka Pitara (Trunk Of Knowledge) a program for Educate Girl’s DIB (Development Impact Bond) project in Bhilwara, Rajasthan. After months of solving worksheets and doing activities, the girls are condent to read story books that were lying unused for the last 2 years.

Ayushi who was part of the Sol’s ARC program at Jai Vakeel was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Doctors told her mother not to have high expectations for her future. The mother fought against all odds and made sure she went to school. Today, Ayushi is a condent child, with dream of becoming a teacher herself. With a smile on her face and a tear of joy the mother shares, “Ayushi imitates her teacher and teaches me something new each day. I am proud of her.”
