“My daughter had nearly stopped studying after schools shut down. We don’t have phones for long hours, and she began losing interest. When she joined UmeedShala, she came home excited on the first day itself. She talks about her teachers, yoga classes, and the friends she’s made. Her confidence has grown. She now says she wants to finish school and work toward something she can be proud of. I hadn’t heard that kind of hope from her in a long time.”
