Hi, I am Lalita, your driver today. I am a resident of Madanpur Khadar, Delhi and have six siblings. We faced severe financial crises that forced me to drop out of the education system. My journey of self-transformation started when I joined Azad as a trainee (with the Women with Wheels) in 2011. I completed my training in six months and got a job as a chauffeur through private placement in Sakha. I worked with a client for two years, and then worked with Sakha commercial cabs for four years. While doing this job, I was able to complete my studies and acquired a Masters degree through distance learning mode. I also gained enormous confidence that helped me to navigate through all twists & turns in life. I was able to restore our house that had been earlier mortgaged by my Father at a time of economic crisis. I was able to pay the loan amount, through my earnings. My Father who was once reluctant to send me for training, now feels proud of me and says that being a daughter I was able to help him get his house back, and is filled with gratitude. In 2016, I had the opportunity to attend a conference in Bangkok, where I shared my journey of transformation. Since 2018, I have been working with Azad as a Driving Faculty. This truly exhilarates me and I am equally thrilled to share that as my next venture, I will be soon going to Hungary to train and work as a trailer truck driver in Europe. I am humbled and grateful that life has given me all these opportunities and despite all the challenges that I faced earlier, I am now able to experience a sense of power and courage within me. I have not just transformed my own life but have also encouraged my siblings to do the same, and inspired many women from my community to do the same.
