The digital age is often linked to smartphones, iPads, and viral TikTok trends. But for over a third of the global population, this is not the reality.
For Jayasree, that was not her reality.
Jayasree’s father, Rajappa, sells clothing door-to-door but struggles to make ends meet, while her mother works as a domestic helper. When Jayasree isn’t in 6th grade, she works with her mom for extra income.
Her happy place?
Learning about computers at school. And this is where it gets tricky, because what happens when the only school computer for all of the children no longer works?
Jayasree learns about computers in theory, but not in practice. That is, until she learned about The Hope Venture’s India Tailoring & Computers Project.
Through your gracious generosity, Jayasree was able to use a computer for the very first time! Through the program, Jayasree is being equipped with practical computer skills that will last her a lifetime.
When asked what Jayasree dreams of becoming one day, she said she wants to “become a medical doctor to help economically challenged people and encourage them to overcome difficulties in life.”
Sounds like one extraordinary purpose if you ask us, and Jayasree’s computer skills will help her get there. Thank you!
