My Story

After Nithiya’s father abandoned his wife and two daughters, they didn’t have a stable source of income. Nithiya’s mother was sick with cancer and unable to work, so Nithiya and her sister, Karthika, went to live with their grandmother. Their grandmother lived in a slum area and, due to lack of resources and old age, she was also unable to sufficiently care for Nithiya and Karthika.

A concerned neighbor made contact with our partner home and our social workers were able to rescue Nithiya and her sister. Your sponsorship ensures Nithiya is enrolled in a good school and receiving an education! It also provides her with nutritious food and ongoing counseling support from our social workers who are teaching her the value of being a girl!
