Be the lifeline of a 1000 children in India

Dear Patron,

Greetings from El Shaddai family. We bring to you our latest report on “Be the lifeline of a 1000 children in India”.

In India, millions of children live in slums, facing significant challenges related to health, education, and overall well-being. These children are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition, disease, and lack of access to essential services like clean water and sanitation. Furthermore, they often face barriers to education and are at higher risk of exploitation and violence. 

Due to the sad plight of these children, El Shaddai charitable trust has been providing free access to education, home and residential areas to children from the underprivileged backgrounds. This will aid the children to break from the cycle of poverty and provide them an opportunity to change their lives for the better.

We have beautiful transformation story of two children Radha (name changed) and Amit (name changed). These siblings were being raised by a single mother on her own with any family support. Her husband used to struggle with alcoholism and passed away 3 years ago. Our outreach workers found the children staying alone in their small single room house while their mother was away at work. Since the children did not have the required documents, their mother has been unable to enroll them in school. To ensure they receive care and support, the children have been attending the Little Acorns day care shelter where they receive not just food and education but warmth and care.

 We can help all such children only with your continuous help and generosity. We extend our heartfelt appreciation for your generous donation.

Your support empowers us to continue our mission and serve our community effectively."

With Gratitude,

El Shaddai family

Dear Patron,

Greetings from El Shaddai, we bring to you our report on “Be the lifeline of 1000 children in India”.  Underprivileged children face multiple challenges, social stigma and discrimination affecting self-esteem, health problems due to unsanitary living conditions, safety and security concerns in slum areas, frequent migration disrupting educational continuity, limited access to early childhood education.

We at El Shaddai focus on the basic rights of children and want to ensure that child can achieve their dreams. We have opened formal, non-formal schools, slum schools, Homes, day care shelters and community centers in Goa, Karnataka and Mumbai.   

The El Shaddai Schools encourages street children and slow learning children to gain new hope through non-formal methods of learning. We also reach out to children across Goa and neighboring states with neighborhood learning initiatives. We conduct coaching and remedial learning classes in our Shelters and Community Centres. Our focus is in the slums and communities we work with, which is to ensure pre-primary schooling for the children. By providing them with a safe place to learn, we keep them off the streets and away from possible abuse such as drugs, sex trafficking, begging and child labor.

We have a beautiful story of a girl named Shiksha (name changed). She came with her family from a village in Karnataka. Her mother thought she would find a good job in Goa as her husband passed way due to cancer. She was finding it very difficult to provide for her children. She roamed the streets in Goa for endless days in the hope of a job. But she was not able to find one. As she was sitting on the streets with the children, an El Shaddai staff asked her to come along with the children and they were taken to the nearest shelters. Here they were provided food, clean clothes, placed in Homes and enrolled in schools.

It’s been 5 years now and this little girl is now all grown up and busy studying for her 5th Grade. She aspires to be a teacher and be able to provide education to all. There are many more like her, just waiting for a helping hand. We believe that every little kindness will make a big difference.

We thank each and every sponsor, well wisher, for all your kindness and support. Thank you once again for believing in our mission. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress!

With Gratitude,

Sincerely
