Anuja Rokade, a student from Subhash Nagar, Yerwada is a member of a seven-person family who faced numerous challenges while growing up. Her father works in a small company and her mother is a homemaker.

Her journey at Lighthouse proved to be a turning point where the Foundation Course equipped her with essential skills and boosted her confidence and helped her secure a position as an Engineer at Vodafone-Idea. Anuja’s gratitude and excitement knew no bounds.

Anuja’s journey didn’t stop there. Even before joining her new role, Anuja returned to the Lighthouse, driven by a desire to give back. She volunteered to teach computer skills to the other Lighthouse youth, instilling in them a belief in their own potential.

Her dedication and mentorship led to five of her students’ securing jobs in a company.

Anuja’s commitment to the Lighthouse extended beyond her career. She continued to attend events and inspire others, serving as a role model for Lighthouse youth.
