Bahini Educare Family
We started supporting this family from the 3rd of June, 2016 and it is our “Bahini Educare Family”. This family has been supported according to our selection criteria to support utterly poor single mothers/grandmothers with dependent children, who are at high risk of worst forms of violence, abuse and exploitation.
Beneficiaries : Santu (Name Changed), 61 years old (Grand Mother)
Shristi (Name Changed), 10 years old (Grand daughter)
Smriti (Name Changed), 6 years old (Grand daughter)
Family Situation: The children’s father was an alcoholic and he died due to kidney failure. Soon after his demise the mother too abandoned her children and left them with the old Grandmother. The old woman sells firewood and works as a daily laborer where ever she finds work to run the family.
Shristi, the older one cooks and takes care of the home, when the grandmother is working! Too much work for a young girl but without a single sign of pain or unhappiness she does it all!
They actually have no property and/or house of their own. They were provided with some community land and the villagers built them a home but it got burned down. One such generous villager allowed them to stay in his old deserted shabby place.
Conclusion: This case is serious and we decided to support them!
Recent Developments:
We are providing them each month with nutritious staple food like rice, lentils, sugar, oil and the like. Moreover we are providing everything that is needed for a proper hygiene. We admitted them to a nearby school, provided them with uniforms, shoes and stationary and now they are regularly attending school and the results are satisfactory.
Still accommodation was a big issue due to a lack of a bathroom and safety. It is for this reason that we organized a “fundraiser” and we were able to build a simple small house on land that was provided by the community.
An improved cooking-stove has been installed for smoke-free and economical cooking.
We provided the Grandmother with a mobile-phone and this in case of any emergency. Our nurse goes on regular visits and provides heath-checkups and counseling regarding hygiene and other health issues.
After one year the situation of the whole family has dramatically improved.
All are healthy and well nourished, they are living in a safe clean home and the children are happy and proud that they are able to attend school.
For this family the support by the Bahini-Educare-Foundation is making all the difference, from a life in utter poverty, misery and danger, to a life in safety and dignity.
This is yet another success-story by the Bahini Educare-Foundation!
For one Euro a day per beneficiary we are able to make all the difference!
With this amazing platform provided by Global Giving and the generosity from all our kind hearted donors, we are supporting 20 such Educare Families and would like to extend it to 25 by the end of the year.
Thank you very much, everyone!
TEAM Bahini Foundation.
