paintings (handmade by herself.Every moming,even befbre her mother awakens,she
finishes cooking and clearing before cyeling 5 km to run her shop alone.Over the past year,she has
sold about 200 of her paintings,50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this
vear.
However,back in 2019,Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to
family's finauncial problems.She became depressed,thinking she would have to spend the rest of her

women,Project Lehar,run by AKF in partnership with The King's'Trus:International,enables girls
and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realize their potential.This
was a good opportuniry for Rackna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents
to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lchar,she was also given some
suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects.One such session on whear stalk painting made
her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out.

resting on her achievements.Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from
disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change
their lives like she did.
While teaching thesc enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience,what gives Rachna more
pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation.From being a trainee under
this project to now becoming its puid trainer,Rachna's life has come full cirele.
