Samar's Story

He became healthier because he was receiving regular meals, and happier because he had a safe home and a bed to sleep in.

Also - he got to get an education!

After completing his board exams, Samar attended automobile engineering training and as of February 2023, he accepted a job at the Suzuki company after a job fair interview at his school!

Generational poverty ends with Samar!
