Arriving at Sano Diyo at age 3, she was in pain and sadness. After graduating high school in 2021 and completing nursing school in March 2024, she’s now a full-time nurse. On May 31, 2024, she married Manoj Kumar, starting a joyful, faith-filled new chapter.
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

The Project
Homelessness and trafficking of girls in India are critical issues, with UNICEF estimating 18 million street children in the country in 2000. Prasanna and Arpana experienced this firsthand when three homeless, abused girls knocked on their door seeking shelter. This encounter inspired them to create Sano Diyo “A little lighthouse,” which now provides a safe haven for girls, protecting them from trafficking and offering them a brighter future.
Objectives
- Share & Care Project: Provide breakfast, literacy, self-care lessons, and Bible study to children and their families each Saturday, aiming to expand to more communities.
- Enhance health awareness and hygiene in rural areas through educational programs, focusing on nutrition, sanitation, and overall well-being, supported by volunteer professionals.
- Vocational Training Centre: equipping women with skills for employment and self-support.
With your support, Sano Diyo has offered a safe haven and education to girls at risk of trafficking, transforming their lives and futures. Thank you for helping us provide them with opportunities for growth and success, and for making a lasting impact in their communities.
Impact
Sano Diyo’s initiatives provide safety, education, and medical care to vulnerable girls. By offering a secure environment, essential learning, and health support, we empower girls to overcome adversity, achieve independence, and transform their communities, creating lasting, positive change in their lives.
Annually, we need to raise $40,000 to maintain and grow our efforts at Sano Diyo. Your contributions will ensure we continue offering protection, education, and medical support to at-risk girls, enabling them to build better futures and drive positive change in their communities.
Manita’s Path: From Childhood to Advocacy
Manita, a very sad child, was brought to us at just 4 years old. She is one of many children who came to Sano Diyo Home for care and upbringing due to poverty and a high number of children in her family. As a child, she expressed a strong desire to become an advocate. She completed High School in 2019 and was blessed with the opportunity to pursue her dream. After five years of persistent effort, she graduated with an LLB degree in May 2024 and is now in the process of becoming a registered advocate.
Today, she is ready to serve the community and the people from where she came from. She expresses her deep gratitude to everyone involved, both seen and unseen, in transforming her life.
Donate today to support Sano Diyo, where vulnerable girls in India receive safety, education, and medical care.
We aim to raise $40,000 annually to expand the programme and reach more girls in need. Your support will empower these girls, enhance their futures, and help build a stronger, more resilient community.
