Married, in Class 8
Schooling ends where a girl's biography was expected to end.
Mata Mundra Devi Charitable Foundation was founded in memory of Smt. Mundra Devi — married in Class 8, First Division at twenty-six, graduated at forty-five, and an Anganwadi worker for twenty-three years until she lost her life on COVID duty, 4 July 2020.

The Turning Point
She was a private candidate — no school, no teacher, no classmates, no timetable. Just the syllabus, and the examination hall at the end of it.
"The petitioner — Mundra Kumari, Centre Pisawa."
— written in her own hand, the day she returned from ten weeks of training, two districts from home.

Programmes — Open a Folder
She was married in Class 8 and spent thirty-two years getting the degree she should have had at twenty-one. We fund fees, books, uniforms and transport for girls in Classes 6–12, and counsel parents directly — because most withdrawals are decided at home, not at school.
Adolescent girls leave school for a reason nobody writes on a form. Awareness sessions in schools and Anganwadi centres, sanitary napkin distribution, and separate sessions for mothers and for boys — because silence is a household condition, not a girl's condition.
The work our founder gave twenty-three years to. Nutrition support, growth-monitoring assistance, learning and play material for Anganwadi centres — strengthening the government system rather than duplicating it.
Our founder was a literacy Prerak. Adult and digital literacy support for those the school system already missed.
Cooked meals and dry ration for the homeless, daily-wage workers and families in distress. Regularly through the year, and always on 4 July — the day she lost her life.
She was certified fit for civil defence service in 2005. She was called on to give it in 2020. Medical expense support and family assistance for victims of accidents, burns and serious injury.
