As the oldest child in her family, Kavita*s primary responsibility was to protect her younger siblings from the toxic environment of the red light area. When she was discovered by AAWC at age 9, she quickly realized she had found the mentoring and academic guidance she had long sought. After successfully guiding her through 12th standard exams, AAWC placed her at Domino’s Pizza, where she was quickly promoted to Team Manager. Soon after, she and another Udaan girl were both selected by an international luxury hotel as two of 14 candidates nationwide for a three-year hotel management program. During this time, she further proved her talents by winning the Hans Bueschkens World Junior Chefs Challenge hosted by global food science manufacturer Griffith Laboratories at the regional, zonal, and national rounds and by representing Asia in the semi-final round. Upon completion of the management program, Kavita and the other Udaan alumnus both joined the hotel’s Mumbai location as junior chefs. Today, Kavita has moved her entire family out of Kamathipura with her new income. Due to their outstanding performances, she and her Udaan colleague have both been recently promoted to one of the hotel’s locations in Germany.
