“I am Yasmeen Shaikh. I am 20 years old. We are four siblings. I stay at Kurla in slum locality. My father is an auto-rickshaw driver. He is the sole earning member in the family. My mother is a housewife. My father has already taken some loan for purchasing an auto-rickshaw. He finds it very difficult to fulfill basic necessities of the family. I took Shama well loan in S.Y.BMS and repaid full amount by doing part time job.

I also got help from Shama Hexagon scholarship. I stood first in class with 75%. To supplement household expenses I am working in SPRJK Trust’s Student Welfare Centre as full time junior office assistant. Currently I am pursuing T.Y.BMS.

I got help from Shama Smart Well of Rs.10,000. After completing my BMS I am planning to do job as a Finance Manager. I am very thankful to Shama Inc. for helping me to complete my education.”
