This is a pathetic story of Preeti an adolescent girl aged 18yrs, is the resident of Budhavarapeta, Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh.

She was very young when her father passed away and her mother took the responsibility of raising Preeti and her two siblings by doing odd jobs. Preeti’s mother worked tirelessly to give her children basic necessities and a decent education. But over time, due to her mother’s illness and unstable income, the means to keep their household running became harder and harder. As things worsened, Preeti quit her formal education after class VII while her brother started to work at a construction site.

Six months ago when things were looking bleak for her family, Preeti decided to stand up on her feet and get her family out of financial trouble. She was only class VII pass and had a hard time finding a job. She also had frequent bouts of epilepsy. After months of searching for a suitable job, she approached SERUDS NGO for assistance six months ago. She was joined skill development vocational trinaing program designed for 3months course.
