My family had lit a lamp for me. I am home now.

Found near a railway station, eating from a garbage bin, he was taken in, bathed, treated and slowly regained his memory. Our team traced his village — his family had believed he died years ago.

I earn my own living again. That changed everything.

Abandoned and living with untreated mental illness, she received shelter and psychiatric care at our Women's Rescue Center. Today she works there with a monthly stipend and mentors new arrivals.
