For 11 Years She Taught 250 Kids For Free
Getting access to education for children in rural communities is a
problem faced by countries across the world. In India, there is a
program launched by the government in 1975 focused on bringing
healthcare, education, and nutrition to rural communities through an
anganwadi, or 'courtyard shelter.' Anganwadis are vital to these
populations, pulling children young enough to attend preschool from
helping their families by working in the fields. Providing a foothold
into education means these children can go on to attend primary and
secondary school, get good jobs, study at universities, and give back to
their families. In the southern Indian state of Maharashtra, one woman
has changed the lives of hundreds by selflessly opening a no-charge
anganwadi out of her own home.
