Dimple

By the time she was 13, Dimple’s parents had planned to get her married. “Without education, I knew my life would be just like my mother’s,” she says. With Educate Girls’ support, Dimple can now pursue the bigger dreams she has for her future.

“I did not like staying at home as I had to do all household tasks. I always thought about school and how I could learn a lot there. When a community worker from EG came to talk to my parents, I was finally able to tell them that I wanted to return to school. Since EG talked to my parents, they are convinced that a girl should be educated. I am happy to be back in school.”

Dimple still faces challenges that her brothers do not, yet she is determined to continue her education. “There is a teacher at my school and I want to be a teacher like her when I am older,” says Dimple.
