Akanksha’s community is one of resilience and survival. Her locality in Amalapuram sees many families struggling with low wages, erratic work, and lack of resources. Most women like her mother work as domestic help. Education is often sacrificed for daily bread. But children like Akanksha break this cycle — with the right support, they stay in school, stay healthy, and rise with grace.Through Hand In Hand, these children not only receive academic care, but also a safe place to belong — emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
India is a country of vibrant colors, festivals, and traditions. But behind this beauty, many children silently face poverty, abandonment, and limited access to basic rights. In smaller towns and rental neighborhoods like Akanksha’s, survival often takes priority over schooling.Your support helps change this. It gives a little girl the right to dream, to read, and to rise. Sponsoring Akanksha is not just a donation — it is a message that she matters.
