Renuka will not have to worry about her next meal for six months

Renuka hails from North East India and had been staying at a temporary accommodation for blind women for four years. With temporary accommodation, she was uncertain about the duration for which she would be allowed to stay there and was worried about her safety and future, if she was asked to vacate the place, someday. Going back to her hometown was not a viable option since there are no job opportunities for blind women in her hometown. She was visibly weak, destitute and vulnerable when the Sahaara staff met her and needed much counselling.

Renuka has been staying at the Jyoti Home, a residential home run by Sahaara for vulnerable and blind women, for a little over three years. She is well looked after by a house parent and a maid who take care of her needs in an environment where she receives love and personal care. She is starting to come to terms with the horrors of her past, and is starting to believe that her life is not the curse that she thought it was.

Sahaara has empowered Renuka to train as a masseur, and she has now started working. She will, however, continue to need financial support till she is able to establish herself in her profession.

Your generous donations, Kowsilliya, Cindy, Rick and Beth, Tom, Callie and Laurent, will enable Sahaara to give Renuka three meals a day for six months.

Thank you so much, for gifting safety and security to Renuka.
