Being devoted to helping those in need requires a unique sort of person, and for these two ladies in their 50s, that dedication has taken on a life of its own. These two women have made it their mission to give free education to underprivileged children.
Some people have the fortitude to channel their anguish into something beautiful in a world where tragedy has the power to break us. 50-year-old Suman Dua is one such person, who teaches underprivileged kids for free. Another person, is a 49-year-old mother, Jazzy Kaur, who was inspired to accompany Suman and help the kids. Suman and Jazzy were neighbors who lived in the same area and were linked by a common Sikh ancestry.
Suman used her grief to inspire a wonderful act of compassion that has affected the lives of millions, after she lost her 16-year-old daughter to a tumor. Jazzy Kaur, a mother of two sons, was moved by Suman’s compassion and kindness as well as the difference she was making in the kids’ lives. Suman’s generosity has had a significant impact, giving kids the chance to learn and develop who might not have otherwise had the chance.

Suman and Dua started tutoring poor kids in their own home and asked them to take all of their classes. Suman and Jazzy Kaur started serving the kids in their EWS neighborhood after they met.
They persuaded the adjacent Shree Niketan School to admit these children without charging an admission fee and only charge a minimum amount toward the entire cost of their tuition. Even when they were in school, they continued to teach the children after school to help them catch up on the fundamentals and to provide them extra support.
