Anitha’s story

“I lost my parents when I was very young. I stay with my aunt in a one-bedroom house. My aunt sells flowers and only makes a small income. We were very poor.

I heard about ACCESS and that there were people willing to help, and I was enrolled in the programme with my sister and brother. Our lives totally changed. We had health check-ups. We learnt leadership skills. We could go to school because our fees were paid. We took part in summer clubs. I really loved the clubs, and making new friends. I didn’t used to know how to express myself. But now I can speak out and be myself. I am able to communicate and give my point of view. ACCESS paid fees.

I am a BCom graduate actively advancing my skills through a part-time MBA programme, I maintain full-time career as an HR IT Recruiter. This path allows me to immediately apply academic knowledge to real-world talent acquisition challenges. My brother did his diploma in Hotel Management and my sister is working as a freelancer in an NGO.”
