In order to prepare to pass her examinations, Madhumita needs help to cover her school costs. Though she faces many of the obstacles that can hold girls in India back from their education, she is determined to finish her schooling.
With your help, Madhumita can continue her education, with the tools to achieve her dreams.
Consider making a monthly gift. When you give just $28 monthly, you ensure Madhumita or another girl in India has a permanent scholarship until she graduates.
Madhumita is a Girls’ Voices Scholar!
Madhumita participates in Girls’ Voices, GreaterGood.org’s signature girls’ empowerment program ensuring that girls around the world complete secondary school and gain the confidence they need to succeed.
During Girls’ Voices, Madhumita learned media skills to tell her story. She made this video, called “Sujog,” which beautifully shows how girls, even though talented and motivated, can miss out on opportunities just because they are girls.
In Madhumita’s words, “Gender disparity has its legacy since the prehistoric age! It is even more complex today. Shooting this film with other girls was a great experience, showing what many girls have to go through.”
Watch her video now to hear her story.
