ALIGARH, UTTAR PRADESH – Meet eight-year-old Purvi, the youngest of four sisters. By this tender age, Purvi has experienced trauma well beyond her years. When she was just five years old, she watched her mother die of an accidental but severe burn. She herself was injured as well. After this life changing incident, Purvi lost her speech due to trauma of losing a loved one. Purvi and her sisters have been raised by their grandmother, mainly to keep them away from their alcoholic father who refuses to earn a living for them.
In an attempt to help Purvi live her life more normally, her grandmother sent Purvi to the Orphan’s Promise School of Life (SOL) centre in Mainath, Aligarh. After two years of attending classes, Purvi slowly began mingling with other children. Not only was Purvi’s physical health taken care of with nutritious meals, her mental health was nurtured as well, with activities that helped her grow.
A SMILE RETURNS
Because of your support, Purvi now is a rank holder in her class and excels in extracurricular activities as well. Her beautiful smile is back on her face, causing her eyes to twinkle once again. Partners like YOU have given Purvi and her sisters the ability to make the Orphan’s Promise School of Life centre a safe haven for themselves.
Purvi’s grandmother says with a beaming face, “If it was not for the School of Life centre and the staff there, and for the help and guidance Purvi has received, we would never have seen the smile of our child again.”
