Rupa and her daughter Puja need sponsorship

Rupa and her daughter Puja (aged 7)

Corporate Sponsors, please consider sponsoring Rupa and her daughter, Puja. We do not know much of Rupa's past only that she was placed with her daughter in the Government Mercy Home in Gwalior in 2004.

Rupa suffers episodes of mental illness and has either been abandoned by her family or has run away. When asked about her past she will weep. She has without doubt suffered cruelty, and this is probably because her mental illness can lead to her lashing out. Rupa is devoted to Puja and will not allow her to be out of her sight.

Keeping Rupa and Puja together, whilst giving Puja (who is a bright child showing no sign of mental illness) an education and a chance in life, is a problem, but one that the Snehalaya Charitable Trust is ideally suited to cope with. Situated in about 15 acres of farmland about 8 miles from the city it is a residential home for the disabled and base for the Gwalior Childrens' Hospital rural hospital and village clinic service. Snehalaya has a school, qualified teachers and medical staff. There is also a small farm on site which provides work, food and a normal environment. Rupa and Puja now have a home there and will not be separated, however sponsorship for them is essential if Snehalaya is to help others like them.

Sponsorship of £50 per month is required for Rupa and her daughter Puja (aged 7).

ManASVI is seeking a corporate sponsor on the Island, either long term or for one year.
