“I am the 1st Generation in my Family to use a Computer.” – 17-year-old Sanju
“We aim to bridge the gap between education and employability among the children of the slum community by providing them access to learning and thereby skilling. We want to empower children and prepare them for the Digital Word. Sanju is one such example.” – Community Outreach Worker, Railway Children India
17-year-old Sanju, a resident of Balmiki Basti, Delhi, was forced to discontinue her studies owing to economic difficulties. There were 10 members in her family, and it was difficult for her father to educate all his children and care for the elderly in the family too.
Sanju wanted to learn computers, and our team made her dream come true. She was encouraged to join the Child Activity Centrein the community, and enrol for vocational training programme in Computers.
Sanju changed and her confidence grew. Now she makes video calls to her relatives and does money transactions through UPI. She now wants to study and learn the English language to build her careeron the same path… and she knows this is possible with the help of her didi and bhaiya from Railway Children India.
“During the training, I increased my level of confidence, communication etc. Before this, I used to get nervous about everything and could not even talk confidently with anyone but now I can talk with anyone. I faced a language barrier during my training, I want to work on my English language. I want RCI to help me to learn English Land get a job so that I can become self-dependent. I will be the 1st generation in my family to use a Computer. Thank you RCI, Sunil Sir and all those who helped me, and kept me motivated!” – Sanju
