Asmita's Story
Asmita says she never knew stability or safety growing up in a poor family in Nepal with an alcoholic father. When their dire circumstances came to a crisis point, Asmita considered quitting school. She felt her only choice was to find a job to help support her family.
That’s when Tearfund’s partner heard about Asmita’s situation through a local women’s group. Our partner on the ground offered to pay for Asmita’s school fees, stationery and uniforms. It meant she could continue attending classes for two more years.
