My story

Aakash is an inspiring young boy who comes from the Nath Mohalla slum community. His parents struggle every day to earn a living as daily wage laborers, but their irregular income often leaves the family in deep financial distress. There are days when they can’t find work, making it difficult even to put food on the table. With no stable income or resources, they are unable to provide for the basic needs or education of their children. Sometimes, these desperate circumstances even lead to children being sent out to beg for survival. Despite growing up amid such challenging conditions, Aakash has shown exceptional potential and a thirst for education. His determination and natural ability make him stand out among his peers. However, without access to consistent resources and support, his dreams of achieving a brighter future remain fragile. Aakash is currently enrolled in our school through this project . where he is receiving the quality education he deserves. This project is his only chance to continue learning and growing into a confident, capable individual with the power to break free from the cycle of poverty.

Aakash is supported by impact partner Nath Mohalla community

What a day looks like: The children are at school at 7:30 am and have lessons here until 12:30 pm. Then the children go home and help with the housework, help with cooking and can do their homework. Of course, there is also time to play with peers. Project information: The children supported by Project Held live in a slum and are located on the outskirts of Indore. This community is also called Nath in India and is seen as a very low class. They must set up camp at least 200 meters from civilization. There is little to no help for these people and they are ostracized by the rest of society. The people from this slum are mainly engaged in catching snakes, exorcising snakes and searching for waste. Our contact person from YWAM has started together with a team to structurally help these people and to love them and build relationships. A school was built next to the slum in 2021 to educate the children and give them hope for the future. In addition, the whole village is taught about hygiene and the women are trained in making liquid soap and candles to sell. A lot has changed in the slum in the meantime, including the positive behavior of the children, people wash their hands before eating and everyone is much more optimistic. Many are also open to the gospel, which is something new to them. Your support provides your sponsor child with food, school and teaching materials and medical care, so that the children have a great future perspective and they can realize their dream.
