Building communities of care

By Julia Matthew | Managing Director

Dear Donor,

Thank You for Your Support

This September, the Cofounder of El Shaddai, Matthew Kurian completed a 148-mile (237 km) walk along the Thames Path to raise awareness and support for Rainbow’s End, a safe home for young girls.

Your generosity made every step meaningful. Rainbow’s End is more than a building, it’s a home filled with hope. Girls find safety and shelter, education and encouragement and emotional security and belonging.

With your help, they are breaking free from poverty and stepping into brighter futures. Thanks to your donations, we are building hostel infrastructure, providing daily needs and healthcare, supporting education and mental well-being and ensuring long-term safety and empowerment.

Every mile walked was powered by your kindness. On behalf of the girls of Rainbow’s End, thank you for giving them a chance to dream and thrive. Your support is building not just a hostel, but a future filled with hope.

With Gratitude

El Shaddai family

A kindness today can change a child's tomorrow

By Julia Matthew | Managing Director

Dear Patron,

Greetings from El Shaddai. We bring to you our latest report on “After Care Support”.

In the “After care support programme, all children aged 18 and above reside at the El Shaddai Cottages. These children are at their important stage of their lives where they become young adults and need our help and support to successfully integrate into independent adult life covering needs like financial support, vocational training, and guidance. We at El Shaddai work towards improving the quality of care within existing institutions to ensure a stable and thriving future for our children.

The children from this programme are currently pursuing further studies like graduation courses, working in hotels, fashion stores, and we also have our children who are doing trainings in various fields at the El Shaddai centers.

We have a story of a girl named Aishwarya (name changed). She was living in Karnataka with her family. Everything was going well in her life, but happiness did not last for long. Her mother passed away due to an illness and her father abandoned her. A kind relative took her in, but he too due to financial problems could not look after her for long. The relative heard about our Homes and enrolled her at one of our homes named “Rainbow House”. She completed her higher secondary schooling and was interested in learning Graphic designing. She did her training at our El Shaddai office and her work was found to be very creative and artistic. She started working with the El Shaddai team of Graphic designers. She is very happy now as her dreams came true.

We at El Shaddai Charitable Trust are able to help all these children only because of your incredible kindness and commitment to our children. We extend our deepest gratitude for all the love and support given for the cause of aiding underprivileged children. With your support, we are able to offer a safe and nurturing environment where these children can not only learn but also grow into confident young individuals."

With Gratitude

Sincerely

El Shaddai family.

Supporting dreams, Building lives

By Julia Matthew | Managing Director

Dear Patron,

Greetings from El Shaddai Charitable Trust. We bring to you our report on “After Care support”.

As we continue to provide all our children with basic necessities that ensure a healthy livelihood, we also strive to provide after care support systems and empowerment to children towards being prepared to lead independent lives after they reach a certain age.

At the age of 18, our children are encouraged to seek their own path in life with all our combined efforts to aid and support their interests and choices. This, along with your contributions helps us provide for our children with aftercare. This time for the young adults is very challenging and emotional as they have to make the transformation from a teenager to a young adult.

Aftercare is a preparatory stage for young adults during which they are provided by us financial support, training in skills, handholding for career development, counseling for managing emotions and such other measures that contribute to the process of their social mainstreaming.

We at El Shaddai always believe that “a child of El Shaddai will always be a child” of El Shaddai. These children are not left alone after completion of stay in the Homes. For this purpose, we also have cottages for boys and girls where they can stay and be independent and also get the necessary support and care from the organization.

We bring to you a beautiful story of a boy named Vishal (name changed). He lived with his mother on the streets of Margao, Goa. He often dreamt of playing football as he would see the boys playing on the football ground. But because of poverty his dreams were held back. But one day our team reached out to him and enrolled him in our boy’s home. From there on there was no looking back. He was so happy for now he would be able to achieve his dreams in reality. He is presently working in a restuarant and also plays football for various tournaments. There are many such children who need such support and care and we can do all this and more only with your kind and thoughtful generosity.

We extend our gratitude to all our wonderful donors, well-wishers, friends who aid us in transforming children lives to a better one.

Sincerely

El Shaddai Family
