Gifting a dream to Valmik through nutrition

Valmik hails from a poor family from Duliya district in Maharashtra. Valmik ‘s father is farmer and his mother is a house wife. He has three younger sisters and two younger brothers to look after.

He was detained in the Byculla prison in Mumbai, it was when he came in contact with Sahaara, that he enrolled for the value education classes conducted by them, in the prison. Valmik was keen on getting employed and starting life afresh once he got released, but he realized that 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.

After his release from the prison, Sahaara offered him shelter at Mukti Niwas. Through networking and financial support, the staff helped Valmik gain computer skills and employment in the marketing field.

Your generous support, Laurent, will make it possible for Sahaara to provide nutritious fresh meals (breakfast, packed Lunch, evening snack and dinner) to Valmik, for three whole months.

Valmik 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 your support, which will help restore his faith in humanity.
