Purnima (name changed) is 12 years old girl. She was rescued from a domestic labor situation in Kathmandu and referred to our tansit shelter. After 3 months of assessment, it was found that her mother abandoned her when she was 3 years old. Her father married to another woman. Being abandoned from both the parents, Purnima ended up as domestic worker. Meanwhile her father went to Saudi Arabia for work and her step mother is living in western part of Nepal. Purnima became completely parentless.
Currently, Purnima is attending school for the shelter in grade 2. There is a continious family re-connection with her step mother. Purnima is happily living with 9 other sisters in the shelter.
