Education & Literacy
Rag-Picking to School
Isha, a 7-year-old girl, lives with her mother under difficult conditions, never having attended school. Her life changed when the S.E.C.—a non-formal education centre—was set up in her community, where she began learning through its Foundational Literacy and Numeracy programme.
With time and consistent effort, Isha progressed rapidly. When she was deemed ready for formal education, she was enrolled in Class 1 at a nearby private CBSE school. All her expenses—admission, tuition, uniforms, school supplies, and learning materials—are fully supported by the Centre. Today, Isha goes to school with pride, her bag filled with books and her eyes shining with dreams.
“I once collected waste—now I carry books and dream of becoming a doctor.”

Street Seller to Designer
Sonia, now 19, has faced hardship since her early years. After losing her mother at just four months old, she was raised by her grandmother and father in a cramped shelter. To survive, her father drove an auto-rickshaw, while Sonia sold cloth collected by her grandmother from nearby temples.
Her life began to change when she joined the S.F.C.C.—a skills development centre—where she learned the art of stitching and tailoring. By putting these skills to use, Sonia now earns her own income by making and selling garments. This not only provides essential financial support for her family but also gives her a strong sense of pride, confidence, and independence in her daily life.
“I used to sell cloth to survive—now I create fashion to thrive.”

A Clearer Vision Ahead
Madhu Kumar, a 37-year-old resident of Gurugram, faced more hardship than most could imagine. Years ago, an accident left him without both legs, restricting his mobility and forcing him to depend on others for even the simplest tasks. Yet, despite his physical struggles, he carried a quiet determination to live with dignity.
Over time, his world grew even smaller as his eyesight began to fade, adding another layer of frustration to his life. When Eternity Foundation organised an eye check-up camp in his locality, Madhu attended. After examination, doctors diagnosed him with refractive errors and provided immediate medical guidance. He was later given corrective spectacles, allowing him to see clearly again.
“I lived in a blur—now I see the world and my place in it.”

Safe Water: First Need
Sunita, a mother of three living in a slum in Gurugram, had no regular water supply and depended on outside sources for her family’s needs, walking distances each day to fetch water. Her youngest, a one-year-old child, Kavi, often suffered from skin irritation, and doctors advised the family to use clean water for their daily needs..
When Eternity Foundation launched its Clean Water for All Initiative, Sunita’s home was among the first to receive a non-electric water purifier, making it ideal for her living conditions. The installation provided the family with safer drinking water, helping reduce the risk of illnesses caused by bacteria and other contaminants, and giving her a practical tool to protect her family’s health.
“I feel at ease knowing my children have safe drinking water at home.”

The Tree He Grew
At the bustling Seema Railway Crossing in Aligarh, Dharmesh serves as a Level Crossing Operator. In 2022, he adopted a sapling from the Eternity Foundation’s Plant Adoption Drive and planted it beside the railway tracks—a location known for its challenging conditions. He watered the plant regularly and protected it from damage.
Over time, the sapling flourished, its branches expanding outward, showing the results of consistent nurturing. This transformation became a subtle yet powerful symbol: true change begins when an individual takes responsibility, regardless of where they are—not just through large projects or campaigns. What was once a barren corner has now blossomed into a vibrant green space, proving the impact one person can make.
“Caring for the environment isn’t just someone else’s job—it’s mine too.”
