Priyanka is from a single-parent family

Priyanka is a 5th standard student and the younger of her parents’ two children. Tragically, her father committed suicide four months ago after a domestic dispute, and her mother now struggles to provide for Priyanka and Priyanka’s older brother on the meager income (1,500 rupees, or $35 per month) she earns as a day laborer.

Priyanka is a hard working girl, who is enrolled in one of the better schools in Pune. She is a part of the Educational Outreach Program at Ashraya Initiative for Children, and she gets educational support, including school fees, transportation to school and after school coaching.

Thank you, Patricia, Dara (x2), Julian, Harold, Carol, Carys, Matimeo, Dean and Julie, Leslie, Dennis and Don, for coming together to provide an entire year of meals to Priyanka. Since she comes from a household where she is often forced to go hungry for several days at a stretch, the three nutritious meals that she gets because of your generosity is what keeps her going.

Thank you for providing Priyanka the nutrition which helps her concentrate on her studies, thereby excelling in her classes and progressing toward a brighter future!
