Born into hardship and silence, Vijaya Lakshmi lost both parents to HIV. She too carries the virus — and lives with complete hearing loss. After Grade 10, she had to stop school due to health and daily survival struggles. Without a hearing machine and without her parents, she now depends entirely on her ageing grandparents.
