In the 1960s Dashrath Manjhi lived in a small village Gehlaur near Gaya, Bihar, India There was a rocky mountain near his village that people either had to climb across or travel round to gain access to medical care at the nearest town Wazirganj. One day Manjhi's wife fell while trying to cross the mountain, after which Manjhi decided to carve a road through it. By hand. It took him 22 years . But the village remains extremely backward and good education is needed to bring change.
Manjhi's legacy, his inspiration, should not die with him. It should live on in all those who are facing challenges, poverty and ignorance Despite all these efforts by Manjhi, people in his village still continue to live in utter poverty with no access to a good school - a hope that Manjhi was always striving hard. People First are the only NGO (non profit working in the village and we have a proven record of working successfully . Please help give these children a future for the first time.
