Suleman comes from a family of seven living in an area where access to education is limited. His father works as a small vendor near the railway station, selling homemade candy floss, with some days bringing no income at all. When the family learned that free education was available, they enrolled their children with the hope of giving them a better future.
While Suleman was attending the BLC, teachers noticed he was losing weight. VR intervened immediately, ensuring he received medical care at a civil hospital along with proper treatment and nutrition. Today, Suleman is no longer malnourished, and teachers continue to ensure he eats nutritious meals.
Suleman’s mother actively participates in awareness programs in the community and in skills training programs where she learnt income-generating skills such as stitching and basic beauty treatments. Over time, she invested in a stitching machine, began taking small orders, and now earns from home, helping her family meet basic needs.
With growing confidence, she has also become a voice for social change in her community, encouraging other families to send their children to school and ensuring education reaches more children, just like it reached Suleman.
