Chandrakala - 4 of 4 Shares Sponsored


Chandrakala

Place Nepal

Age 7

Gender Female

Chandrakala is the fourth oldest of 6 sisters. She and two of her sisters were born in Nepal which is where they are all living now, while her other three sisters were born in India.  Her father, Purna Bahadur and mother, Sarmila, desired greatly to have a son but after trying for 14 years and having 6 daughters, Sarmila died of fever and pneumonia due to lack of medical treatment, leaving Purna to take care of all 6 little girls. Chandrakala’s sisters are Pratiksha age 13, Bhawana age 11, Sandhya age 8, Pari age 4 and Manika age 1. Her older sisters help her father take care of her and her younger sisters, but they are very poor and without a house or fields to plant in, so food is very scarce. Her father works in other’s fields for scraps much more like a slave with little to no pay. His mental health has greatly declined since the death of his wife 2 months ago. Because of their extreme poverty and dyer situation, Chandrakala and her sisters are vulnerable to being taken by child traffickers. Our ministry partners in Nepal would be able to provide these precious girls with food, clothes, education and good home for a sponsorship of just $40 a month per girl.
