UNICEF Correspondent Rachel Warden reports on Indian 'Girl Star' Anita Khushwaha, a beekeeper in an occupation traditionally held by men.
Swarming bees are a familiar sight in this rural Indian village of Bhojpah, the men here
00:00:00
have always kept bees and made honey. Now, for the first time, a woman calls herself
00:00:07
a beekeeper.
00:00:13
I love animals and insects, but people thought that beekeeping was a job only men and boys
00:00:14
could do, that women couldn't do it. This was a big concern for me, because I thought
00:00:21
that if I did any business, it would be this and nothing else.
00:00:28
At just 17 years old, Anita credits her success to the fact that as a young girl she was able
00:00:40
to get an education, despite the odds. In the state of Bihar, where she lives, only
00:00:45
one in six girls are literate. Born into a family finding it hard to make ends meet,
00:00:51
her parents needed her to look after goats instead of going to school. One day she snuck
00:00:58
into school and loved it so much, she convinced her parents to let her stay. She was able
00:01:03
to raise money for school fees by tutoring other students, and save enough money to buy
00:01:09
two queen bees. She now has 125 queen bees, producing enough honey to pay for her college.
00:01:14
After studying, because of my education, I want to become a social worker, so I can work
00:01:24
for the community and for the people. I have observed in my village there is a lot of poverty,
00:01:30
there is no one to look after the poor people.
00:01:36
A UNICEF-supported project run by the NGO Going to School has honoured Anita as a girl
00:01:41
star, an example of courage and success among girls and women in India. For her community,
00:01:47
Anita is a role model. Her perseverance will continue to inspire families to send their
00:01:54
daughters to school. This is Rachel Warden reporting for UNICEF Television. Unite for Children.
