Tara is Arti's mother and describes the difference between her life opportunities and what she wants for Arti and her siblings, Utalesha and Sunni. Tara works in nearby fields, picking onions, tomatoes, pomegranate and weeds. The sun is intense and she often faints from the heat. “It’s hard work. I don’t have time to be a mother. I never had an education so there is no other opportunity for me” explains Tara.
The family currently share a home with Tara's brother which is temporary and simple; knowing what will happen next is precarious.
However, Tara is commited to enabling her children to attend the Karuna-supported school nearby. “I don’t want this for my children. I want them to have a good job, and be a good person. I don’t allow them to work with me. Their education is more important. I have to be strong for my children and their future.”
NISD provides schoolbags, notebooks and uniforms for her children. Without them, they had felt inferior and bad compared to the other children. Now Arti, Utalesha and Sunni go very happily to school; they don’t want to stay at home. The school also provides meals and extra help with their tuition and the teachers are very supportive and helpful.
It is thanks to your support of this project that families such as Arti's can begin to flourish. Thank you so much for your donations and support of this vital work.
