A story from the field

Aanya's Story

Rourkela, Odisha

Aanya is a girl living in Rourkela, Odisha. She was only 9 years old when she stopped going to school.

Her father had died because of lung cancer, and her mother worked long hours washing dishes in nearby houses just to arrange one meal a day.

While other children carried school bags, Aanya carried buckets of water.

She loved studying, especially English, but poverty slowly turned her dreams into silence.

One evening, when our team met her, she quietly asked:

“Can I study again… or is school only for rich children?”

That question stayed with us.

Today, with the support of kind donors, Aanya has books, school uniforms, and hope again.

But there are thousands of children like her still waiting for someone to believe in them.

Your small contribution can help a child return to school, sleep without hunger, and dream again.
