In Jharkhand, Dalit girls face multiple barriers to education and social mobility. However, Jesuit schools, such as St. Joseph’s in Tarwa, are breaking these barriers by providing quality education to Dalit children from nearby villages in Hazaribag.

Nisha, an eighth-grade student at St. Joseph’s, has excelled academically and is a dedicated student. Alongside her studies, she also takes joy in playing volleyball and kho kho. Her aspiration to become a nurse is noteworthy, especially considering that she is the daughter of a daily-wage laborer and a housewife.

On the other hand, Sangita, whose father was against her education, is determined to continue her studies. With the guidance and support of the Jesuits, she persuaded her father to allow her to attend school and continue her education.

Our mission is to empower and provide a path to success for Dalit children in Jharkhand by offering them quality education, accommodation, and meals. With the help of Jesuit schools, girls like Nisha and Sangita are breaking free from the cycle of poverty and discrimination and realizing their full potential.
