Maya Rani Tharu is a mother of three: Aravin (10), Jetu (7) and Ashish (4). When she started making a profit from the goats she received from Heifer in 2010, she started dreaming of better education for her children. You see all three children currently go to a government school. The infrastructure is weak, teachers are not skilled and books are hard to get. The teaching medium is Nepali, less preferred than that of private schools which teach in English. Learning English is synonymous with better job opportunities and parents pull all the spare cash they can to send their children to private schools. Maya Rani's journey with Heifer has just begun. Stay tuned as we bring you more of her and her family's life with Heifer.
