Gifting a dream to Jonathan through nutritious meals!

Jonathan was detained in the Thane prison in Mumbai, it was when he came in contact with Sahaara when he enrolled for the computer education classes conducted by them in the prison. Jonathan was keen on getting employed and starting life afresh once he got released demonstrated, but he realized that the he would be stigmatized after his stint in the prison.

Sahaara helps rehabilitate newly released prisoners by providing physical and emotional support, giving vocational training  and helping them find good jobs. Sahaara also runs a home called Mukti Niwas (Place of Freedom), where former prisoners get wholesome nutrition and quality accommodation till they are emotionally and financially self-sufficient, and ready to take their place in society.

Since Jonathan did not have a family to fall back on, after his release from the prison, Sahaara offered him shelter at Mukti Niwas. Through networking and financial support, the staff helped Jonathan gain training as a welder and fabricator. He is now employed and would be moving out as soon as he is emotionally ready to make a fresh start in life.

Your generous support, Laurent, Peter and Susan is making it possible for Sahaara to provide nutritious fresh meals (breakfast, packed Lunch, evening snack and dinner) to Jonathan.

Jonathan would soon be starting a new life, and once he is financially able to do so, he has pledged to help other newly released prisoners like him to make a fresh start in life.

Thank you for coming together to feed Jonathan for three months, and restoring his faith in humanity.
