Dear Friend,
Greetings from El Shaddai and we bring to you our latest report on After Care support.
Support for orphan children doesn't end when they leave the care of orphanages or foster homes. Aftercare support is crucial for the children’s successful transition into independent living. El Shaddai has been in existence for 26 years and in these years we have seen beautiful transformations of children which bring extreme delight to our hearts.
To date, we have reached out to 656,452 children. Many of our children are working with us in our schools, offices, shelters and community centres. Some are working in leading hotels and reputed banks. We have a beautiful transformation story of a girl named Maya(name changed). Her story is an inspirational one. She transformed into a more stable and fulfilling life which is a powerful testament to resilience and determination.
She lived in a slum on the outskirts of the city of Goa. She and her mother along with her sibling used to sell toys on the streets to make ends meet. Her father was a scrap collector and passed away due to a sudden illness. Within a year her mother too passed away. The poor girls were left all alone without any food, money, shelter or security.
A kind-hearted lady who had heard about El Shaddai decided to bring these girls to our home. Here they found love, warmth, care and comfort. They received education at our school and today she is studying for her final year (Bachelor in Business Administration) while the little sister is actively taking part in sports competitions at the state level.
We have been able to provide long-term, consistent support for these children with your continuous love and support and we truly appreciate your dedication to this noble cause. We ensure that the children in our care grow and develop in confidence over time and have a chance for a better and brighter future.
Supporting our children extends beyond their time in our care, and it plays a crucial role in helping them transition into independent living successfully.
We have many such stories which demonstrate that with determination, support, and access to opportunities, children living in poor conditions can transform their lives and create a better future for themselves and their families.
We express our deepest gratitude for your generous donations in making these children’s dreams come true and give hope and courage to face the world.
Best wishes
El Shaddai family
