Sewing machine for Dhivya

I have been following the struggles of Parvathy’s family with Jinesh's help, and their situation has only worsened with heartbreaking losses. With Parvathy and Nidhin’s passing, three young girls are now orphaned, and the eldest, Dhivya, is trying to rebuild their lives. 

To help her start a livelihood, we are looking to arrange a sewing machine setup (costing around 15-20K) so she can work from home. Given their circumstances, I believe we must come together to support them. 

We first helped them during covid time by giving tabs so that they could attend the online classes.

Please see the mail from Jinesh below:

Monthly Grocery kits for 9-10 children from Matha high school , Mannampetta

Last December, we distributed Christmas kits to 20 underprivileged children at Matha High School, Mannampetta, Thrissur. Each kit included a monthly grocery supply, cake, and festive goodies. Seeing the financial struggles of some of these children, we decided to extend our support beyond the holiday season.

Starting in January, we began providing a monthly grocery kit (approximately ₹1,000 per kit) to 9-10 children. To ensure smooth distribution, we have partnered with a grocery shop near the school and are directly coordinating with them.

This initiative is currently not funded internally, but I have assured them that we will explore expanding it to support more children and assess the possibility of funding it through internal resources.

I have also created a separate Google Sheet to track each month's distribution. For privacy reasons, I won’t be sharing the list publicly, but I will share it separately with those who need access.
