Sweta proud to accept her scholarship
Sweta Tamang
Sweta lives in Dollu Village and has 4 brothers and sisters, but she is the only one who is currently going to school. Although her family owns some land, because there is no one to work the land, it remains barren most of the time, thus her parents do not have a steady income.
Like most families from a low income group, education becomes a luxury they cannot afford. Another challenge for Sweta is that her last school only went up to the 5th grade and she was worried about not being able to continue her education.
