My Story
This project will provide financial help to 100 girls to study the nursing course organized by School of Nursing. All of them were stopped with 12th standard because of poverty. Studying the course would help them earn sustainable livelihood. With increase of separations and divorces, dowry related atrocities, suicides among young married girls, it is important that girls acquire professional skills to stand on their own legs with employment & income throughout the year. The girls have the interest and motivation in studying the professional course. WFW is willing to admit the girls for the course. With the scholarship the girls will be able to meet the expenses relating to books, notebooks, uniforms, exam fees, training materials, and hostel expenses. With many doctors from towns and cities opening up clinics and hospitals in rural areas, there are ample job opportunities for the girls near to their homes. The confidence level of the girls will improve with liquid money in hands. With continuous motivation the health seeking behavior of all family members will improve. The image of the girls will improve in family and society. There will be no need for them to be dependents when they get married. They will set examples for other girls.
