Proud of Where she is Now: Thuli Maya’s Story

Proud of Where she is Now:Thuli Maya’s Story

Thuli Maya Praja’s second husband succumbed to a sickness about six months ago. Now 54, Thuli Maya lives in a slum in Simaltar in Hetauda Municipality with her two sons and four daughters.

Shewas only fourteen when she was first married. She then lost her husband, her land, and her house in a devastating landslide. After keeping her daughter as a domestic help in a house, Thuli Maya migrated to another village with her son. She got married to a man who worked in a ghee factory and soon bore him two daughters and two sons. Their hardships soon forced them to migrate to Kamane in Hetauda.

Soon, her husband was drinking heavily and his health was deteriorating. Unable to support his family, he was supporting his drinking binges through debts and credit. Thus, to repay his debts, Thuli Maya had no choice than to force her daughters to work as domestic helpers in the village. “My daughters were eager to study but I could not give them that joy, “Thuli Maya ponders as she looks back. The problems then got worse as her husband was soon fired from work. Thus, she was forced to migrate yet again to another place.

Thuli Maya has now been living in Simaltar for 15 years. Never having read once in her life, when the WDC project first implemented the LRE and post-literacy classes in Simaltar, Thuli Maya strived to gain the most from it. She is one of the best and regular students of the programme now.

Besides being able to write her name down, Thuli Maya can read and write books and has learnt some practical things too. She recollects her journey by saying, "I'm proud of being here. It is helping me in my personal development and self confidence." An active member of a women’s group too, she continues to inspire people around her with the change that she has seen in herself. Another great reader of the Peepal Pustak books, Thuli Maya now proudly states that, “Share and Care Nepal and WDC are my best friends.”

How nice for us to hear that!
