Pratima was one of the 19 original children who came to Ama Ghar from a remote village. When she was young, she was a fantastic dancer and always stated, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, that she wanted to be a Bollywood dancer! As she grew older and matured, though, this voracious reader learned more about the world and decided her purpose was to help disadvantaged and marginalized people to live successful lives.
As a teenager and college student, Pratima was a leader in several student organizations committed to the causes of women and girls. She was determined to take a bachelor's in psychology, which she completed in 2018. After leaving college, she married, and she and her new husband decided to go to Australia and make a new life for themselves. She now lives in Sydney, Australia and is completing her Bachelor's degree in Social Work.
Pratima's success is due primarily to her own hard work, but your financial support has made it possible for her to pursue her dream. Perhaps even more importantly, knowing that there are people all over the world who are her Ama Ghar family and who believe in her gives her the confidence and the drive to do her very best. Thanks for all you do.
