Stories of Change

Anika, a 12-year-old girl from a rural village. Facing limited access to education, poor nutrition, and the risk of child labor, life was challenging. With CCRD’s support through education, health, and child protection programs, Anika returned to school, improved her well-being, and gained confidence. Today, she mentors other children in her village and dreams of becoming a teacher, inspiring those around her.
