Real Life Stories - Manu's story

Manu came to the JYOTI vocational training centre, following treatment and rehabilitation in hospital. Her legs are permanently paralysed, meaning she has to use crutches or a wheelchair, so she was afraid she would not be able to build up an independent and dignified life. She worked extremely hard during her computer secretarial training, and with the support of teachers, social workers and a psycho social counsellor, she found new hope for her future. After a very successful internship period in CWSN's Asha Clinic, she was offered a job (through a competitive recruitment procedure). Manu is now doing fantastic work as a receptionist and administrator in the clinic, is a great colleague, and she is very proud and happy!
