Sushmita is supporting her own college education!

Sushmita Kerketta (W0101/0178) completed higher secondary education after she was supported under the sponsorship program of FADV for the last 10 years. She hails from Gairkata Tea Garden. Her parents work as a temporary worker in Tea Garden with a monthly income of Rs. 3000 per month. She has 4 younger siblings and all our students. Her family was not capable to support her college education, after her completion of higher secondary education. Hence, the project team contacted an institute to provide free hospitality training to children in the tea garden. 10 youths received the training and Sushmita was one of them. After the training, she was selected to work in the hospitality sector of a star grade hotel in Gujarat. Now she is pursuing graduation via correspondence and is also financially supporting her family.
