Impact:

Rehana Shabir Shaikh currently studying in STD 9 enrolled in sanskarvarga five years back. Her family condition was determinal which is why Rehana was discouraged to pursue her education. After regular follow-up on our part, Rehana became a regular student of S.K.Memorial high school which is an English medium institution. Rehana receives clothes, educational sponsorship and skill-training through Sparsh. She has become fluent in the English language and is now also comfortable with computers.

She aspires to become a pilot one day.

Support Rehana and several like her to achieve their goals.
