Ujwal has a hope and a future!

Ujwal hails from Golaghat, Assam, and was detained in the Central (Arthur Road) prison in Mumbai. When the social workers from Sahaara came in contact with Ujwal in April 2011, a few months before his release, they realized that while Ujwal feared that he would be stigmatized for his stint in prison, he was determined to seek a job and start life afresh.

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.

Ujwal was welcomed into Mukti Niwas in June 2011. Ujwal would be receiving training in housekeeping, nursery training and basic life skills. He desires to become a chaueffeur and take care of his mother who resides in Assam.

Ujwal 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.

Your support, Sanjiv and Rajani, Subash, and George (4 months), of a month of nutrition each will enable Sahaara to provide three meals to Ujwal for six months. By the end of six months, Ujwal is determined to learn a skill, and take up a job that will make him financially independent.

Thank you, Sanjiv and Rajani, Subash and George, for your support. Ujwal appreciates the faith you have put in him, and is determined to make a fresh start in life.
