GIVE HOPE – PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED Almel, India South

$50.00 No GST

RNDM Sisters in Almel have been working for physically challenged children and supporting their families. This project will provide them with basic needs, medicines and nutritious food that will help them to live a healthy and dignified life. The support will reduce the burden on the poor parents, who are daily wage labourers, struggling to survive. Due to the parents’ low economic conditions, many families consider that the children with disabilities are burdensome and therefore, are often neglected. Many such children suffer from malnutrition and succumb to other illnesses leading to early mortality.
