A small help for a social entrepreneur

Selvakumar is an engineer from East Rajapalayam, a village in Salem. He was an ERP consultant for 4 years. In 2012, he was diagnosed with kidney failure and has been on dialysis support ever since. He quit his job to start Shivam(https://shivam.services) to help his villagers make use of computers and internet. Today Shivam is the lifeline of East Rajapalayam. He wants many more professionals to start working for their local communities.

Apart from Shivam, he does natural farming in his father's small piece of land and also advocates to the same. He firmly believes that pesticides were the main culprit for his disease. He is confident that his body will recover naturally without transplantation. Though Shivam earns Rs. 15000/month for him, it is not sufficient to cover his dialysis expenses of Rs. 44,000/month. Lets help him with our donations for his medical expenses

Dear Supporters,

With the help of your support along with few friends, Selva is currently meeting his monthly expenses.

His health has improved over last year and now he is able to work for Shivam Communications on regular basis. He has expanded the services provided by Shivam Communications. Also, as a techie turned organic farmer, he is ready to do his first harvesting in another one month and he has plans for his transplantation in near future!

Selva says: “I'am doing good and thanks to the support I’ve been receiving from generous hearts. Now I'm confident that I can self-sustain. Everyday I start my day thinking what else I could do to my village. That gives enormous strength to go further."

Let's wish him good luck for all his ventures and keep him in our prayers!

Thank You.

Dear Supporters,

With the help of your support, Selva is currently meeting his dialysis expenses of Rs. 44,000/month. The transplant is expected to be scheduled within the next six months as doctors have advised to wait for his health conditions to further stabilize.

The good news to share with you is that Selva recently got selected as the Village level Entrepreneur by which he’s getting assistance from the Central Government for making government transactions available at Shivam Communications. There has also been progress on the load applied through Mudra Scheme which is expected to be approved soon.

“He is doing good, thanks to the support we’ve been receiving from generous hearts, but above all, he needs time till the transplant which is what we are praying for” says Suresh Karuppannan.

Do keep him in your prayers! We will keep you posted on his progress.

Thank You.
