My Story

Rajeswari’s parents were married as teenagers, per the custom in the fishing community they live in. In their community, girls are unwanted and many are either abandoned, sent to work as bonded laborers, married off as child brides, or trafficked. After Rajeswari was born, she was, like so many others, neglected because she was born a girl. Our social workers were made aware of Rajeswari’s situation and were able to intervene on her behalf. Your sponsorship ensures Rajeswari receives the food and care she needs for her overall development and a safe environment to grow. Most importantly, she is being told truth: she is loved, she is valuable, she is worthy!
