Success Stories
Sanufer Shaikh
Sanufer lost her father due to heart attack 1 year ago. Her mother is a homemaker and is struggling to make ends meet. She has 2 younger brothers, one in PUC 1st year and another in 8th standard. They have used up her father’s savings and things have become difficult to manage as her mother is not working.
Sanufer is studying in BCA final year at KLE’s BBA & BCA College, Dharwad. Her grades have been consistently good. She not only excels in academics but also in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities winning competitions and awards. The physical challenge (she does not have left hand) she has does not deter her from participating in any activity nor does it affect her confidence. She presents herself extremely well and shows the drive to achieve something in life.
