My Story

Mandeep Singh lives in Amritsar with his grandparents. His favourite place to go is school. Mandeep’s parents separated in 2012, and his mother returned to her parents’ home, but she passed away in 2014. Mandeep’s father also died in 2015 due to appendicitis, leaving Mandeep and his sister in the care of their grandparents. Even in his old age, Mandeep’s grandfather has to work to provide for his grandchildren. His grandparents are worried that they will not be able to give their grandchildren the opportunities every child deserves. Living without parents is hard enough, but growing up in poverty without their protection and support leaves children in a very vulnerable position. Educating young children is an important step in ending poverty around the world. Sponsor Mandeep today and join SAF INTERNATIONAL in the fight against poverty.
