    This fundraiser will benefit

    Naseeba

    from Chennai, Tamil Nadu


12-year-old Nasseba who was born with just one leg -- and no other limbs -- is a living example of resilience and determination. When no one thought she would amount to anything she went ahead and proved them wrong.

Naseeba suffers from a rare congenital deformity called phocomelia. The symptoms of the syndrome are undeveloped limbs and absent pelvic bones. But this did not stop or break her spirit.

She is a diligent student and a loving and kind person. What is more important is that she has taught herself to perform all her daily chores with the help of her only leg. She can eat, comb, write, paint and even create mehendi designs with her sole leg.
  Naseeba is a topper in her class despite her disability

 Naseeba has been attending Renu Vidya Mandir, a school for Children with special needs, ever since she was 5 years old. The school administration has been very supportive of her. They have managed to create a positive atmosphere wherein kids with special needs can thrive and go on to leave a mark in society.

After school, she spends her time tutoring kids in her neighbourhood. The little girl dreams of becoming a teacher in future. A choice she made after she experienced the love and support of her teachers.

Naseeba has aspirations to study further but unfortunately, her family does not have the funds to support her education.
