Alisha’s story is horrible yet still full of hope. It is authentic. It shows a brave and determined girl growing up into a woman, knowing that the sky is no limit. Her story shows that even if everyone is convinced that a girl has no chance, she can prove them wrong. The story is about determination and stamina. It shows that a child, even a girl, can make it in a patriarchal culture like Nepal, despite being born into a poor family unable to support or raise children. Her story also shows the importance of setting goals and sticking to them, despite the obstacles. There are thousands of young girls in Kathmandu, plus millions worldwide, having experiences like Alisha’s. Most have no one to encourage them or anyone who believes in their capability. Girls struggle everywhere, and many fail because of a lack of support - but also because they lack self-confidence. This true story reveals to children, particularly girls, that there are ways to help them to make changes.
