2. The Transformation of Bilal: From Laborer to IT Professional
Bilal grew up in a low-income family and had to work as a laborer from a young age to make ends meet. He had no access to formal education and little hope of escaping the cycle of poverty. That changed when he enrolled in Ujala International’s Skills for Life program, where he learned digital marketing and web development. Bilal’s dedication to learning and the support provided by Ujala helped him secure a job at a local IT company. Today, he is a full-time IT professional, earning a stable income and providing for his family, breaking free from the limitations of his past.
3. Razia’s Empowerment through Vocational Training
Razia, a mother of two, was struggling to make a living after her husband’s illness left him unable to work. With no formal education or marketable skills, she was unable to find employment.

Thanks to Ujala’s continued support, Hamza is now pursuing a pre-medical track in high school, with the dream of becoming a doctor to serve his community.
