Since 2013 members of S I Bolton have supported a scheme run by Soroptimists in Kathmandu to help girls from extremely poor families continue their education. One of the earliest girls to benefit was Mandira. Her mother was dead and she had to look after her siblings; there was no money to spare for school fees or the basic equipment such as pens and paper, let alone such things as school lunches.
This is Mandira in 2020. She not only completed her education but has succeeded in obtaining a much coveted position in the police force. Kathmandu Soroptimists have given her support and the confidence to succeed.
