Priyanka

“My mother couldn’t afford tuition. I studied on my own and used to prepare during my lunch breaks.” 

These are the words of 18-year-old Priyanka*, a young woman from one of our VisionTrust programs that has pursued her education despite financial limitations, cultural barriers, and familial obligations. She participated in a VisionTrust program from 2015 to 2019, and during that time, our local leaders observed her incredible work ethic and academic aptitude.  They walked alongside her providing support and mentoring to help her accomplish her goals. Amidst competing demands on her time and responsibility, Priyanka defied the odds and persevered in her coursework. She scored an A+ in her Class 12 studies and has set her sights on being able to pass the civil services exam so she can pursue a career in helping others. We know she will leverage her knowledge and talent for great good! *Name changed for privacy reasons
