Kavita

married at 14 in India

Kavita was 14 when she was married into what she describes as a very supportive family.  

Her husband and in-laws allowed her to continue her education until she became pregnant with her first child. And after the baby was born, she attended sewing classes and self-help groups. At one such group session, she accepted an offer to become an IHMP Life Skills community worker. She is now a program supervisor, and her husband and in-laws continue to be very supportive.
