Seven years ago, I was a student at DBM India, where I completed a 3-month MSCIT course with big dreams, but little idea of what life would bring. After marriage and becoming a mother, I began feeling the need for independence—for myself and for my family. I decided to reach out to DBM India, hoping to rekindle that spark. They offered me a role, but it involved fieldwork, which I was initially uneasy about. However, with the encouragement of a supportive team, I pushed through my discomfort, building confidence and learning crucial skills in mobilization and communication.

I soon developed a new approach to enrolments, moving beyond door-to-door visits and reaching out through personal connections. It allowed me to help people who truly needed it. This experience gave me a window into the unique struggles that communities face and made me realize just how meaningful my contributions could be.
