In Kiratpura, Rampur, Bond, Achatt, and Nayagaon villages of Uttar Pradesh, conversations about education and future careers are beginning to change.

Until recently, many parents said they didn’t know how to guide their children beyond school. Career choices felt distant and unclear, and decisions were often made with limited information. Today, that uncertainty is slowly giving way to awareness.

Through the Community Career Guidance Program, children are being introduced to different career paths, and just as importantly, parents are part of that journey.

Families speak about how these sessions have opened up new possibilities, helping them understand what lies ahead after school and what it takes to get there.

One parent shared that earlier, studies were seen as a routine. Now, there is a sense of direction.

Children are asking questions, setting small goals, and are showing more interest in their education. Parents, too, feel more confident supporting them, even if they didn’t have the same opportunities themselves.

Across these villages, the change is not dramatic, but it is steady. There is more awareness, a little more confidence, and a growing belief that children can make informed choices about their future, with their families walking alongside them.
