Gifting a dream to Umehabiba through education

Umehabiba
Dear Laurent,

Three year old Umehabiba hails from Govandi, one of the innumerable poverty stricken slum pockets in Mumbai. Her father, Allauddin Siddique, works as an agent and her mother, Shamshunmissa Siddique, is a housewife, Umehabiba has two brothers as well. Though her parents have not studied beyond the twelfth grade, Umehabiba can dream of a stable future with a good education.

Umehabiba studies at the Govandi study center, run by Sahaara. She is a keen and enthusiastic student who has always been eager to attend the study center. She particularly enjoys dressing up for class. To any first time visitor, Umehabiba’s infectious smile, confidence while interacting with other children would belie her background and family’s poverty.

Sahaara Charitable Society believes that every person has a dream, and their work centers around ensuring that marginalized persons are able to articulate and work towards achieving their dream. Sahaara’s early childhood education program gives children like Umehabiba, get a start which will help her break out of the poverty cycle.

Your generous donation, Laurent,  will enable Sahaara to provide a year of pre-primary education to Umehabiba.

Thank you so much for gifting a dream to a vulnerable child like Umehabiba, thereby paving the way to a self-reliant and brighter future!
