From Dropout to Doctor: Sita's 10-Year Journey
In 2014, Sita Devi was forced to drop out of Class 9 due to her family's financial struggles. IFLS Foundation's emergency scholarship program not only kept her in school but sponsored her entire medical education. Today, Dr. Sita runs a free clinic in her village, treating 50 patients daily.
“They believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself. Now I heal others the way they healed me.”
