From Prerna Girls School in Lucknow to United World College South East Asia in Singapore, Dipti’s journey is a remarkable story of resilience and determination.

Having faced the loss of both her parents at a young age, Dipti continued to pursue her education with incredible perseverance. Last year, she applied for the highly competitive UWC scholarship. After several rounds of interviews and assessments, she was selected for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme at UWCSEA, Singapore, with a scholarship covering her two academic years.

Dipti credits her teachers at Prerna for encouraging her to believe in herself even when she doubted her own abilities. Today, she carries that belief with her as she begins an exciting new chapter.

We are immensely proud of you, Dipti. May you continue to dream boldly, learn fearlessly and discover just how much is possible. 💙

Strengthening communities through awareness and dialogue!

GyanSetu, in collaboration with Suraksha counsellors, organised two community meetings in Sikandarpur and Khurkhundapur, engaging 54 women in meaningful conversations around issues that deeply impact their lives.

The sessions focused on understanding domestic violence in its various forms, building awareness of women’s rights, and addressing the growing concerns around cyber crime. These discussions created a safe space for women to share their experiences, ask questions, and seek guidance.

By fostering open dialogue and connecting women to support systems, these meetings are an important step towards building informed, resilient communities where women feel empowered to recognise, resist, and respond to violence. 🌱
