My story
Aksahara is geboren in een communitie die wordt gezien als lage caste in India. Ze heeft 3 zusjes. Om voldoende eten te hebben helpen de kinderen met afval ophalen in de omgeving en andere "werkzaamheden" wat een beetje inkomen genereerd. Dankzij ondersteuning kan Akshara naar school en hoeft ze niet langs de straat te leven. Akshara houdt van buiten zijn en wilt later een atleet worden. (omdat vaak niet bekend is wanneer het kind geboren is wordt de leeftijd geschat en is de datum 01-01).Why Akshara needs our help
Akshara is supported by impact partner Nath Mohalla community
What does a day look like:
The children are at school at 7:30 am and have lessons here until 12:30. Then the children go home and help with the housework, help with cooking and can do their homework. Of course there is also time to play with peers.
Project information:
The children supported by Project Held live in a slum and are located on the outskirts of Indore. This community is also called Nath in India and is seen as a very low class. They must set up camp at least 200 meters from civilization. There is little to no help for these people and they are ostracized by the rest of society. The people from this slum are mainly engaged in catching snakes, exorcising snakes and searching for waste. Our contact person from YWAM has started together with a team to structurally help these people and to love them and build relationships. A school was built next to the slum in 2021 to educate the children and give them hope for the future. In addition, the whole village is taught about hygiene and the women are trained in making liquid soap and candles to sell. A lot has changed in the slum in the meantime, including the positive behavior of the children, people wash their hands before eating and everyone is much more optimistic. Many are also open to the gospel, which is something new to them.
Your support provides your sponsor child with food, school and teaching materials and medical care, so that the children have a great future perspective and they can realize their dream.
