Aysha’s* family came to Mumbai from a village in 2012, carrying little more than hope. Work was scarce back home, so her father began searching for daily wages in Mankhurd. For several years, the family moved back and forth between Mumbai and their village during every harvest season, struggling to survive on uncertain income and constant instability.
By 2018, the family finally settled in Mumbai. Their first connection with Vision Rescue (VR) began when Aysha’s older siblings were enrolled in the Beacon Learning Center (BLC). Later, during the lockdown, when work disappeared and resources were scarce, VR stood by the family with food ration support and continued education through online classes. This consistent support built trust, stability, and resilience within the household. Today, all of Aysha’s older siblings continue their education in nearby local schools.
When Aysha turned five, her parents confidently enrolled her in BLC, already convinced of the power of education. She now attends regularly, learns with enthusiasm, and progresses well. Her mother actively participates in community group meetings, and the family dares to dream again, especially when Aysha proudly shares her ambition to become a police officer.
