This is Karuna's full-circle story.
We met Karuna earlier this year giving a speech for World Anti-Leprosy day at Sumanahalli, Bangalore.
Karuna joined the Anugraha Girls’ Home at the age of 13. The home offers accommodation and a stable environment for girls from migrant worker / vulnerable families, such as those whose parents are affected by AIDS or leprosy, or those who would otherwise camp on roadsides as they work. Definitely not somewhere any family would want to call home, and not somewhere where a young girl should live.
The home provides a safe, kind, and encouraging environment in which the girls who live there can thrive, attend school, and be young girls who grow up to be anything they want to be.
Karuna was one such girl.
After leaving Anugraha when she'd finished high-school, she trained and worked as a teacher, and is now back as a leader in Anugraha, having come full circle.
It was lovely to see how this little home for girls can transform lives and open doors for them.
The Blesséd Brew supports this and other charities in the UK and India, so every pack of coffee you buy can do good.
