Manasa, a bright-eyed 3-year-old, faced a tough start in life after her family moved from Bellary to Bangalore, grappling with financial struggles and long hours her parents spent working as housekeepers. With both parents toiling at the Bangalore Municipal Corporation, Manasa and her siblings often went without proper care or enough to eat, leaving them vulnerable and neglected. But her world transformed when she joined Diya Ghar. At the Kalkere 2 centre, Manasa found more than just regular meals—she discovered a safe haven filled with warmth and encouragement. Here, she eagerly engages in activities like using tongs to pick up colorful pom-poms and coloring, which bring her joy and foster her growth. This nurturing environment has not only nourished her body but also her spirit, allowing her to thrive and explore with curiosity. Her parents, once weighed down by the burden of providing, are now comforted and grateful, seeing Manasa happy and well-cared for, illustrating the profound impact of Diya Ghar’s compassionate community.
