“Project Phoenix transformed my life. I used to be acutely self-conscious about my mother being in the sex trade. It was here that I learned to understand, even accept, my circumstances and move beyond them. It made me realize the lengths to which my mother had to go, just to raise my brother and me. Slowly, my anger at her being a sex worker was replaced by respect, and this gave me a lot of mental peace.

“Project Phoenix prepares you to face real-world challenges and the day-to-day struggles of life. Growing up, we had little awareness of the world beyond us, with only a narrow window of dreams. The program transformed me by broadening my perception of myself, enhancing my ability to achieve more, and significantly boosting my self-esteem. It has been a life-changing journey for everyone in the batch.

"It helped me let go of the stigma around mental health that was deeply rooted as I grew up in a community slum area. The program enabled me to further empower others and raise awareness about mental health taboos with my peers and family members. My parents also began noticing improvements in me. I became more disciplined and focused on my career, and they were happy with my ability to overcome any challenges that came my way.
