Jessica
After Jessica’s mother died, her father abandoned her to survive on the streets. She was begging and scavenging to find food and safety. A friend, who learned of her situation, reached out to us for help. Jessica was eager to leave behind the fear and loneliness she had known and step into a place of safety and love. Jessica is thriving in our care. Her testimony shows how love can restore even the most broken beginnings.
Vriksha
Vriksha grew up witnessing her parents' abusive marriage due to her father's alcoholism. When she was young, her father tragically committed suicide. Her mother, who only had a third-grade education, worked as a maid and cook to provide for her children. To give her children the best life possible, Vriksha's mother approached Project I Am for assistance in supporting her children's education. We have taken it upon ourselves to ensure that Vriksha and her brother receive a quality education and learn about their true Father, Jesus Christ.
Rekha
Rekha caught the attention of the Project I Am staff when they found her sifting through a local dump in search of scrap metal to sell. In 2017, her father was murdered by her mother's boyfriend. Unfortunately, her mother was an alcoholic and failed to provide her with care or protection. The PIA team rescued Rekha from this situation and provided her with a nurturing and supportive environment. Today, she is thriving. Her mother has also overcome her addiction and now lives with Rekha at the PIA rescue home.
Pooja
Pooja was discovered living in a temporary shelter without access to basic necessities. She was identified during a COVID relief effort while begging on the streets, exposed to dangers of the roadside with no one to ensure her safety. Pooja's situation required urgent intervention. Luckily, she and her two siblings were able to find refuge in one of our Project I Am Rescue Home
Anushka
Anushka was born on the streets. Her family lived under a small tarp on the side of a major road. She had already faced many hardships in her young life, one of the most heartbreaking being a severe eye infection that went untreated and ultimately resulted in permanent vision loss. When she was three years old, her entire family was rescued by Project I Am International and she has been happily growing up under their care ever since.
