Representative photoMeet Sara
A class topper who could no longer afford her textbooks.
After her father fell ill and could no longer work, Sara’s family in Indira Nagar quietly stopped buying her reference books. She kept attending school, borrowing notes the night before exams. A scholarship from Gulistan E Mehdi Welfare & Educational Society covered her school fees, a full set of textbooks, and after-school coaching for one academic year, with a community mentor checking in monthly. Sara passed her board exams in the top grade band and is now preparing for college entrance with the same mentor by her side.
I never had to tell anyone I had no books. Someone just made sure I did.
