Roshanara
Help More Girls Beat the Odds - Donate TodayRoom to Read's proven efforts have helped nearly 50,000 girls like Roshanara learn to negotiate key life moments and determine their own futures. Countless others urgently remain in need.
Donate NowShe lives in Delhi, India and her name means "light" When she was 15, Roshanara - a dedicated student who wanted to continue her education - was very nearly forced to drop out of school and enter into marriage. But because she was enrolled in our Girls' Education Program, she was able to advocate for herself and had her Room to Read mentor by her side to convince her parents of the value of education. Now, Roshanara is 19, pursuing a B.A. from Jamila Milia Islamia University and working part-time in a doctor's clinic.
