Rohit is the youngest of four siblings. His father died shortly after he was born, and his widowed mother struggles to support her children by selling used clothes on the pavement. Almost all her income goes toward paying interest on a loan that she took out several years ago, leaving very little to cover household expenses.
Prior to joining Ashraya Initiative for Children’s (AIC) Education Program, Rohit and his siblings were lucky to get one meal a day, and when his mother could not afford that, they went hungry. Rohit and his siblings now receive breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack at AIC’s Education Outreach Centre. Since food scarcity is a big problem for the family, they also received packed food to take home for an evening meal.
Thank you, Shashi, for donating one full year of meals to Rohit. The food that he will be receiving will be healthy, fresh and nutritious, designed to meet the needs of a growing five-year old! With Rohit starting upper kindergarten (UKG) in a few months, his mother is very relieved to know that her son’s nutritional needs will be met for the next year!
Thank You!!!
