Our First Achievement
During Awareness and baseline research we had found a client “A” (for client privacy issue, we are not disclosing the identity of the client).
A is a single widow living in a village of Bastar district. Her husband has died 3 years ago and she also lost her single child in Jul 2018. After discussion with her, we found the mental or socio phycological issue with her.
Our team were continuously in touch and talked with her. We found that she is completely lonely. We included her with a Women Self Help Group. It’s a social cum economic activity group. She started to connect with group members and feeling better. After some days she had an opportunity to attend a livelihood training and counseling in nearby city Jagdalpur.
After she came back from Jagdalpur, she was more confident with herself. Now she has overcome her socio-phycological issues. Now she wants to marry again and live happy as like others. Hope we will share the information about her marriage in our next report.
We expect that you will spread the word within your social reach about our work and initiative to help those people like our client “A”.
