“When a young person is given the opportunity to learn, they gain more than an education—they gain the confidence to shape their own future.”

Every success story begins with someone who dares to dream despite difficult circumstances.

For Rebika Rai, that dream was to continue her education and build a career in the world of technology. Like many young people from financially disadvantaged families, the path to higher education was uncertain. But thanks to determination, hard work, and the support of generous sponsors, her dream is steadily becoming a reality.

A New Beginning

Rebika joined the MySmallHelp Educational Sponsorship Programme in 2019. At the time, she was a dedicated school student with a strong desire to learn and create a better future for herself and her family. Through MySmallHelp’s sponsorship, she was able to continue her education without the financial burden that often forces many talented students to leave school.

Throughout her school years, Rebika demonstrated commitment, resilience, and a positive attitude. She successfully completed her higher secondary education in the science stream, laying a strong foundation for her future studies.

Following Her Passion for Technology

Inspired by the endless opportunities in the digital world, Rebika chose to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology, a four-year programme designed to prepare students for careers in software development, networking, cybersecurity, and other rapidly growing technology fields. MySmallHelp continues to provide financial support as she works towards achieving this goal.

Each semester brings new knowledge, new challenges, and new opportunities to grow. Through her studies, Rebika is developing the technical skills and confidence needed to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven world.

A Family’s Journey Forward

Rebika’s educational journey is especially meaningful because education has become a shared path within her family. Together with her brother, Simon, who is also supported by MySmallHelp, she represents how investing in education can create lasting opportunities for an entire family.

Their story reminds us that when one child succeeds, the positive impact reaches far beyond the classroom.

Building a Brighter Future

Rebika’s story is still being written.

Every lecture she attends, every assignment she completes, and every new skill she learns brings her one step closer to becoming a confident IT professional. Her journey demonstrates the importance of long-term educational support and the life-changing impact it has on young people who are determined to succeed.

At MySmallHelp, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Rebika’s determination, combined with the generosity of our sponsors, is helping turn hope into opportunity.

We are incredibly proud of everything Rebika has achieved so far and look forward to celebrating many more milestones in the years ahead.

To every sponsor who has supported Rebika since 2019, thank you. Your kindness is not only funding an education—it is empowering a young woman to build a future filled with opportunity, independence, and purpose.

Together, we continue changing lives—one student at a time.
