Skills-based
After completing my Bachelor’s in Rural Development, I was immediately deployed as an Epicenter Manager. At ARU, all graduates have ready job opportunities. The visionary approach I gained helped me overcome obstacles and, through the URDT Continuum, I transformed my life and supported my siblings' education. My journey shows that when you empower a girl, you spark lasting change in her whole community.
