Rizwana’s journey with her daughter, Zeenat, is a powerful testament to the transformative impact of Sparsha Charitable Trust. Before discovering Sparsha, Rizwana was deeply concerned about her daughter’s future. Labeled as “slow” by others, Zeenat faced significant discouragement from family members who believed that pursuing her education would be futile. This emotional toll left Rizwana feeling hopeless.

A Chance Encounter, A New Beginning
In 2018, Rizwana connected with Sparsha and sought guidance from the organization’s CEO, Sarika Ma’am. At that time, Zeenat had only completed up to the 8th grade, and Rizwana was hesitant about her continuing education. However, Sarika Ma’am assured her that, with the right support, Zeenat could succeed. Sparsha facilitated Zeenat’s admission into the 9th grade at Mahila Rao Mahadik School, despite opposition from family members who doubted her abilities.

Breaking Barriers, Defying Doubts
Against all odds, Zeenat not only passed the 9th grade but also achieved commendable marks, marking the beginning of her academic transformation. With Sparsha’s ongoing support, including counseling and mentorship, Zeenar’s attitude toward learning improved significantly. In the 10th grade, she excelled, achieving an impressive 61% in her final exams.
From Labels to Milestones
Additionally, an IQ assessment revealed substantial cognitive improvements, boosting Zeenat’s confidence and enhancing her communication skills. In 2024, she completed her ITI Beautician course, equivalent to passing the 12th grade-an incredible milestone for her and her family.
A Story of Possibility and Progress
Rizwana credits her daughter’s success to the unwavering support of Sparsha Charitable Trust. Zeenat’s journey from being deemed academically incapable to completing her education and a professional course exemplifies how access to resources, guidance, and encouragement can reshape lives. Today, Zeenat stands as a testament to the transformative power of education and the dedicated support that Sparsha provides to children and families in need.
