Where Anushree lives, the hills glitter green, the tree leaves stand tall, and wave “hello” to the forest floor below them. Just a third grader, Anushree plays in the grayish-blue Javadi Hills of India.
Where Anushree lives, earning a living as a daily wage laborer is common, with earnings often as low as $2.00 a day. For a family, that amounts to just $60 a month. Access to medical doctors is also rarely available. In her father’s case, a neighbor applied a homemade ointment that resulted in a devastating condition. His foot started to form a rash, then rot. Maggots began to eat away at his flesh, leaving his foot exposed to the bone.
As her father endured this injury, Anushree’s mother became the family’s primary earner. Taking on underpaid caregiving roles, her mom moved to another city away from home to support her family.
These events became quite discouraging for Anushree.
That is until she decided to attend The Hope Venture’s local Tuition Center.
With a sparkle in her eye, Anushree steps into the Tuition Center, her notebook brimming with fresh ideas and a renewed confidence sparked by her teacher’s uplifting encouragement: “You are capable.”
With your immense generosity, we are seeing children like Anushree be supported in some of the most remote areas of the world. Your gift brings opportunity, belonging, and hope.
Where Anushree lives, the palm trees dance, the people laugh and cheer—all for her.
