Ismatara's Story Since Sponsorship:

For Ismatara, the sponsorship has been a lifeline. She no longer worries about how to afford school supplies or whether she can attend class each day. Instead, she can focus fully on learning, answering questions in class, completing her lessons, and building her confidence step by step. At home, her parents feel a deep sense of relief. Her father, who pedals a rickshaw long hours, and her mother, balancing work as a maid with caring for the younger children, can finally breathe a little easier knowing that Ismatara’s education is secure. This support has lifted a heavy weight from their shoulders and given the family hope for the future. Ismatara herself is filled with gratitude. Every day, she approaches her studies with renewed energy and determination, motivated by the knowledge that someone believes in her potential. For her and her family, the sponsorship is a source of encouragement, stability, and the chance to keep dreaming big. 

Ismatara's Story During Sponsorship Application:

Ismatara is the eldest of four siblings, and she carries a sense of responsibility for her family despite her young age. Her immediate younger sister is in class 1, while the other two siblings are still too young for school. Ismatara’s father works as a rickshaw puller, and her mother is a maid, both striving hard to provide for their family of six. Due to their limited income, life is a constant struggle, especially with the rising costs of daily necessities and an increase in rent. While her parents take turns caring for the younger children, Ismatara's education is a priority, though financial constraints make it challenging to provide her with the support she needs for her studies. Despite these hardships, Ismatara remains resilient, facing the challenges of her environment with determination. A sponsorship would ease her struggle and provide her with all the help she needs.
