Our success stories happily show how our educational loans change the lives of our children and their families. Here are two examples of how through support and education, Nandri has helped to fulfill the dreams and given hope for the future to these two Nandri families.
This young lady, M.S. is from Vellore. She was a very bright and hard working student and had ambitions to become a nurse. Unfortunately as she was from a very poor family, this was just a dream. Both here parents were daily wage labourers and the family could not afford to keep her in education and it would be absolutely impossible for them to pay for 3rd level college.
Nandri gave her parents a loan so she could continue on to Nursing College in Bangalore and now she is in the middle of studying for her Bsc in nursing in St Joseph’s College. When she completes her degree, she will be able to find a well payed job and will be able to support her impoverished parents in the future. One educational loan to this girl and her family, has changed all their lives.
This young father is from Iyyangunam Village. His wife, one of our Nandri mothers, tragically lost her life giving birth to their child. The father was left in an impossible position. He could not find work as he had no one to mind his two small children. Nandri mothers acted as an extended family to the bereaved father and helped to support him both financially and emotionally. Although they have so little themselves, they understood his struggles and managed to help this poor father who was in desperate need.
Nandri hearing of his plight, came to the fathers aid with financial support and we will continue to look after him and ensure he can afford to send his two children to school. As the children grow, we will help their father keep the children in education and encourage them to continue on to College to obtain a degree. With our help, there is a future and hope for this family. He and his two children will have our support and he will also always be a part of the extended Nandri family.
