Farhana R

While migrating from Myanmar to India, Farhana lost one year of her schooling. Numerous girls dropped out of school as soon as they attained puberty and were married off in her community. At the age of 12, she formed Targib group, an initiative addressing the issue of girls' education in her community. She has 30 group members in her team in Hyderabad. Leading by her example, she reaches out to parents and persuades them to let their girls’ study further. As of Dec 2020, Targib has managed to support over 50 girls by getting them admitted to formal schooling.
