She came to Delhi to support her husband leaving her four children at her in-laws place as they couldn’t afford to have their whole family here. With unwavering dedication, she joined Gulmeher to provide for her family. “I can’t afford to educate all of them here. My youngest son is with me who studies at a local government school here, my daughter and my other two sons are back in my village. They study there..”

Meet Rukhsar, a dedicated and talented member of our team at Gulmeher. As the eldest sister, she made significant sacrifices to support her family, but her dreams of education were put on hold. At the age of 17, she joined Gulmeher, where she found a space to freely express herself and learn new skills.Working silently for three years without her father’s knowledge, Rukhsar received unwavering support from her grandmother and mother. Gulmeher has been her window to freedom, allowing her to explore new places and embrace her creativity, and she is now the supervisor for the phool-patti section.
