About 10 years back Gita s husband, a slum dweller,was critically ill due to dengue. In order to save his life, neighbors admitted him in private hospital.
They demanded Rs 4 lac to save his life. It took her few days to arrange the money. The day she deposited entire money, she was given husband s cold body.
She lost the only bread earner and got into debt.
Her in laws and brother were ready to give shelter to the family but didn't want to take responsibility of 2 children who were going to English medium school.
She was a home maker who did not step out to buy the grocery too.
She decided to stay back and educate her children.
We got her a sewing machine, which has not generated any income during past 2 years.
Her children also need a sponsor to pay the fees, as she has been struggling to repay loan, run home.
Lockdown has added to her problems.
Her daughter Sandhya, (our student) passed X standard with 62%.
She needs Rs 16,880 for admission in Lords Universal College, Goregaon West, Mumbai.
Please help us by contributing any amount as per your budget.

Since parents are illiterate & poor, they cant afford to pay tuition fee, with the result these children score low, fail, drop out of the school & start earning. Parents too welcome an extra income so...
