Dilakshana’s mother lost her legs during the war and when she wanted to do her A/Ls in the Biology stream she did not have the financial means to continue her studies. Thanks to a sponsor through Vanni Hope she was able to pursue her studies from 2012 to 2015. When she finished her A/Ls she applied to do nursing. While waiting to hear the outcome she worked for KKM and also followed a course in the computer studies. Now, she has been admitted to do the nursing course. She will be paid a handsome monthly stipend and study for 3 years, at the end of which she will be employed as a nurse.
