I am the only child of my parents. I lost my mother at a very young age, and my father became mentally disturbed after her death. When I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade, CORD took care of my education. From that point onward, all my educational needs were met by CORD. Seven years ago, I completed my General Nursing and Midwifery course. Today, I am working at Fr. Muller Hospital in Mangalore. Thanks to CORD, my life has been transformed, and I have been able to achieve my dreams.

My sister and I came to the CORD organization when I was in the 8th grade and she was in the 5th grade. Our mother passed away when we were very young, and we faced many challenges, including not having a proper house to stay in, our father’s deteriorating health, and no money for food and education. CORD has looked after all our expenses till date. I am currently studying General Nursing and my sister is completing her 12th grade.
