Manisha, a 23-year-old from Nanjaiputhukadu village in Erode district, faced significant financial challenges that forced her to halt her college education and start working to support her family. With her father employed as a sanitary worker and her mother at home, the family’s income was insufficient to cover their needs. Manisha took up a job at a local cloth company, sacrificing her dreams of further education.

However, a transformative encounter with READ organization staff, who were working with sanitary workers in her village, changed her life. They offered Manisha an educational scholarship, enabling her to resume her college studies.

Manisha expresses her heartfelt gratitude to READ organization for their invaluable support, which brought enlightenment and paved the way for a new beginning in her life.
