Usha and her husband Mandal moved from Bihar to New Delhi. Mandal used to work as a house help. Usha did not receive basic education and lacked skills to work and earn a livelihood, but after the sudden demise of her husband, Usha gathered the courage to go out and earn a livelihood to support her kids and has been working as house help since then.

Among Usha’s four children, Sumit is in 10th grade, Preeti in 7th grade, and the twins Heena and Meena are in 6th grade. Usha is pleased to receive the Utopia Foundation grant, which she would like to use to support her children in higher education.

She hopes that her children will soon be able to make their dreams come true and lead a better life.
