Hey, my name is Brinda Patel. Currently I’m pursuing an undergraduate degree in Business Management in Queen Mary University of London.
Applying the knowledge from my current studies I’m working on creating a Khilti Pari merchandise line along with Vidhi. Moreover I’m in charge of recruitment, to grow team Khilti Pari and give more students the opportunity to work for this cause. Working for Khilti Pari has not only benefited the girls in rural in India but it has helped me in many ways too. It has helped me develop my organizational skills, team working and collaboration skills, but what I value the most is that this project has made me a more confident person.
We started Khilti Pari in 2016 and it’s been a roller coaster since then. From setting up fundraisers to going to Jaipur to meet the girls, every part of Khilti Pari has been the best experience of my life. Most importantly it made me realize the value of education, because growing up in Belgium I’ve always had a privileged life. Therefore helping these girls has is by far my biggest accomplishment and the thing I’m most proud of. And I promise to continue helping as many girls as I can because as Malala Yousafzai said “One book, one pen, and one teacher can change the world”.

What our sponsors say'India is a country of beautiful history and culture that has produced some incredible inventions and individuals. But the country faces many issues with a large population living in poverty and educationally disadvantaged. It is especially challenging for the millions of young girls who don't get basic education, don't understand their own rights and hence have little chance to escape the vicious cycle of poverty. The Khilti Pari project attempts to attack this problem at its roots - directly working with the families of such young girls to try and ensure they stay within the educational system - allowing them to have a chance at a better future for themselves and their families. What's especially heartwarming for me is to see youths from my own community here in Antwerp raising funds and taking out time to take on this challenge head on. They are planning to personally travel to these areas at their own cost and work personally with such families. In some ways, they can better help and guide these girls by being closer in age and having a better outlook of options available to young people today. I fully endorse and support these young people and wish them great success in this endeavor.' - Ravi Bhansali, Rosy Blue Group
