    Monet Goode

    FOUNDER

    Monika enjoys listening to songs, playing carom board, painting and participating in quizzes. The oldest of four, Monika aspires to complete her degree in Nursing on a Tiyara Board Scholarship to care for the sick and her own family. Ever since her father abandoned them, Monika’s mother has been striving to support the family as a day laborer. Despite constitutional protections, Monika and the 160 million people known as Dalits or “oppressed” are denied equal access to education, financial resources, places of worship and housing among other rights because of their caste.
