Hayley Corey, Director

“I heard about Sambhali U.S. in 2019 just before my wedding. I read Saroj’s story and learned about the typical lives of child brides in India. As I was getting ready to marry my best friend, I couldn’t help but think about the women in India and the autonomy I have in life. I’m inspired by the courageous women and girls of Rajasthan, who are building a road to economic independence and ultimately determining their own destinies.”
