In a small village in Erode district, K.N. Palayam, I, Muniyammai, faced the harsh realities of life at a young age. After losing my parents, I was raised by my elder sister, a daily wager with two children of her own. Financial constraints forced me to leave school and join the workforce. However, my life took a positive turn when I learned about READ’s adolescents group. With their financial support, I was able to resume my education and build a brighter future. This is my story of resilience and gratitude towards READ for their invaluable help in enriching my life.
