Lakshmi at a tender age has realized that poverty can come in the way of anyone’s dream. Instead of going to school, Lakshmi makes the rounds of four to five houses each day and takes care of her father, till her mother and elder sister return. Lakshmil’s father has been bedridden for two years now, due to an accident. Since then, life has taken a bitter turn for Lakshmi. The only respite in Lakshmi’s life comes from her dream of becoming an preacher when she grows up.

Destiny Charitable Trust as an NGO in India has so far directly put more than 200,000 children like Lakshmi into the path of empowerment through education through its Mission Education programme.

Like Lakshmi, there are 17 million children in India working as child labour. At least 62% of the total out-of-school children in India are girls. Last year, 51% of the total beneficiaries of Mission Education programme were girls.
