Suma is the second of three girls. Her older sister is Soundharya and her younger is Nishitha. Their parents, Manikya Rao and Shalini, are both casual laborers who work in the nearby fields during the growing and harvesting seasons. Both also have health issues and their income is very minimal. Suma enjoys reading and studying, as well as running.
We are excited to announce that the building fundraising phase of St Anne Junior College for Girls in India is completed! We are now gearing up to furnish the building and purchase the school supplies needed in preparation for the arrival of the girls in June. This means we are in the final fundraising phase before opening and we need your help! Your gift today will help us to provide girls from impoverished families with a quality education and care.
