Mrs. Reshma, a single mother from West Bengal who belongs to a very poor family had to struggle hard, both emotionally and financially. But as someone who doesn’t give up easily, the young girl did not lament the challenges, but rather made them stepping stones.

Being a single mother means balancing parenting, working and household responsibilities.

Penury led Reshma to drop-out from school after her tenth and look for a job. In order to support her family, improve her financial status and standard of living, she came to Delhi and joined the one-year Assistant Nursing Midwifery Certificate course at ISTC.

Her training at the ISTC for the ANM course helped her not only understand the nuances of the skill but also develop her personality. She is grateful to the trainers at Human Welfare Foundation (HWF) for building that confidence and passion in her.

After successful completion of the course, she is now serving as a Nursing Staff in Kauvery Hospital, Hosur, Tamil Nadu with a salary of 30,000 per month.

Mrs. Reshma is a living example of an individual who believes in herself, makes the most of each situation, and remains focused on her goals in life, letting nothing deter her from her path.
