Shanti would like to thank you for supporting her family

I met Shanti Bhanja and her children a few days ago. They live in a quite little area , behind the Biju Pattanaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar.  Her husband is a carpenter and is also the lone earner of the family. He manages to make Rs 8000 to 9000 per month. Shanti has two children. 4 months ago she took a loan of Rs 20,000 from Mahashakti for her elder son’s education. Mahashakti is one of the three Milaap’s field partner in Odisha. Shanti told me that though she had taken the loan for her elder son, they ended up using it for both her children. Her elder son, Ramchandra is studying in the 5th standard and his sister is studying in the 1st standard. The loan was primarily used for Ramchandra’s tuition, school fees and purchase study materials. 

Shanti would like to thank you for supporting her family.
