Seven-year-old Arpan Chaudhary dreams of becoming a police officer when he grows up. He believes that if he becomes a police officer, everyone in the village will respect him, and he’ll be able to fulfill his mother’s dream by eliminating poverty. Like him, his nine-year-old brother Prabin dreams of becoming a doctor to take care of the sick.

The two brothers, who lost their father at a young age, now live with their differently-abled mother in Aatipakar, Ward No. 6 of Gadhawa Rural Municipality. They used to live in a single room of a house with a leaking roof. Last year, under the “Strengthening Women Led-families Through Safe Housing and Advocacy” project in partnership with “NIVAS”, the “Rural Women Development Center (RWDC)” built a new house for Mayadevi, their mother. She shares that the new house has made life much easier.

After joining the group formed by the Rural Women Development Center, she also received two goats. By caring for those goats and using the single women’s allowance she receives, she manages both the household and her children’s education. She says her sons are eager to study, but when they go to school without proper shoes or uniforms, their classmates often tease them.

“They say God helps those who have no one. Maybe that’s why the Rural Women Development Center became like a god to us and built us a house,” she says. She adds that school uniforms, shoes for her sons, and two fiber quilts and mattresses for the house were provided. Her neighbor, Lila Chaudhary, says that whatever support Mayadevi needs, she will always be there to help. After seeing the organization support his brother’s family, elder uncle Prayag Lal Chaudhary also expressed happiness.

“After my brother died, I was worried about how my mentally challenged sister-in-law would raise her children,” says Prayag Lal. “They didn’t have a decent house or any source of income. I helped as much as I could, but building them a house was beyond me.” He says that the new house has brought great happiness and peace to the family.

Poverty, scarcity, being from a minority community, and above all, being a single woman—Mayadevi, Arpan, and Prabin are living in a constant struggle against all these odds.

“The Rural Women Development Center has made a small contribution to support individuals like Mayadevi, Arpan, and Prabin in the community,” says the organization’s president, Aasmani Chaudhary. On that occasion, the family received fiber quilts, bed sheets, pillows, rugs, two mattresses, a metal trunk, school uniforms for both children, and a set of traditional outfit (kurta suruwal) for the mother. The handover ceremony also saw participation from members of the Rural Women Development Center, affiliated with the Aatmanirbhar Laghubittta Bittiya Sanstha Ltd (ALBS).
