Project Mitwa Mahila Kalyan Evam Seva Samiti (MMKSS)

Tinki lived with her family in the urban slum of Bilaspur. She was a bright and curious eighth grader at a government school located a few kilometers away from her home. Tinki loved learning and was always eager to attend the Child and Adolescent Resource Centre (CARC) situated nearby. The center provided additional educational support to students like her who lived in disadvantaged areas.

However, due to their poor financial condition, Tinki and her family had to move to a new slum, which was also a couple of kilometers away from her school and the CARC. Sadly, Tinki stopped attending the CARC. Worried about her absence, the CARC teacher visited her new home to inquire about her sudden absence..

Upon meeting her family, the teacher discovered that the increased distance and late evening hours were preventing Tinki from attending the CARC. However, when the teacher talked to her, she revealed that she wanted to attend the classes, but her family was not allowing her to go. The teacher then visited her family for a couple more days, discussing education and the importance of her attendance at the CARC.

Finally, after much persuasion, her parents were convinced of the value of the center and agreed to let their daughter attend it regularly. Now, Tinki is once again attending classes at the CARC, excited to continue learning and growing as a student.
