“I am Isharat Shaikh, 23 years old. We are four siblings. My father has abandoned us. My mother does tailoring work at home and is the only breadwinner in the family. Due to financial crises my younger sisters have left studies and have taken up menial jobs.

I was able to complete my M.A with good percentage, because of the financial help that I received from Shama’s various scholarships. I am now working in Ways & Solutions Consultancy as a Recruiter and I get good salary package of 120,000.00 p.a. Now I am supporting my family financially.

My family and I thank Shama and wish that it flourishes by bringing joy and happiness in the life of many underprivileged students.”
