Relief in the Face of Hardship.
Hariharan lives in a small mountain village in India. His father works in the fields near the village and earns a daily wage. His family’s financial situation is poor, making it difficult for his sisters to find spouses. Although they have a roof over their head, the family’s biggest concern is where their next meal will come from.
Nearly five years ago, His mother, Pushparan, developed gangrene in her leg, which quickly spread to her other leg. As a result, she had to have both of them amputated. She is more vulnerable since the family lives in a remote, isolated village; they can’t just take a trip to the hospital whenever they want.
Pushparan’s disability has taken a toll on the family, and Hariharan found himself discouraged by the hardship they were facing. In the past, there had been days when there wasn’t food in the house, and the family was forced to go to bed hungry.
That’s when The Hope Venture stepped in, and through their feeding center in India and the Jawadhu Hills Project, Hariharan was able to gain education and a consistent meal in the evenings. He was even able to share food with his family and play a part in easing the burden of economic hardship.
Because of The Hope Venture, his parents feel immensely thankful, and are hopeful for the future Hariharan is now able to have because of their work. His dream is to be educated and to have a permanent job, so he can finally have a stable income to help him provide for his family.
