Proud Moments

• Protecting child brides from husbands and keeping the girls safe till 18. 40% of the students at any one time are child brides.
• Proud to see them so happy and healthy.
• Proud of the overall educational results and the number of graduates from Veerni continuing tertiary education.
• Moments like the selection of a neglected rural 11year old girl – 1 of 10 siblings, undernourished, discarded by her family, unable to speak, and a mere 1 year on as a Veerni student thriving, articulate, winning an in-house dance prize and performing well academically.
• Our most recent proud moment from the Dalit village deciding their married Veerni daughters were permitted to annul their marriages.
