For Shivalingamma, the second eldest of four children, childhood has been shaped by responsibility and sacrifice.

With a low family income, she often gives up her own needs to help her younger siblings. Providing three meals a day is a struggle, and educational expenses add to the family’s burden.

Yet, Shivalingamma dreams of becoming a teacher and loves dancing and drawing. She works hard to excel in her studies, making the most of tuition and learning opportunities despite limited resources.

Financial support has been a lifeline, helping her continue her education and easing her family’s struggle.

With determination in her heart, Shivalingamma strives to create a better future for her family. “Thank you for your support,” she says gratefully.
