Mumma Ji

Sponsored since age 37, Manju is the mother of our 5 beautiful sponsored children and young women. She has stage 4 Rheumatoid Arthritis, and back in 2016, her health was deteriorating rapidly due to the harsh living conditions in her village and living below the poverty line with her 5 children.

Back in 2016, we installed water plumping into their family village home, but carrying 100L of water daily had already damaged her body and joints.

During the pandemic, Manju's living and health conditions worsened, so we moved the entire family to Rishikesh so Manju could focus on improving her health with weekly visits to her doctor, physiotherapist, and Ayurvedic Doctor. Manju now lives in Rishikesh with her five daughters and husband. Her health is much better, and she loves watching her daughters become young women

The story

Founder Taran was trekking in North India when she happened to stumble upon a very remote village in the foothills of the Himalayas. The villagers welcomed us warmly with a tasty home-cooked meal and a freshly brewed chai. She decided to extend her stay and learn about local people and their culture.
After two weeks of camping and exploring the village, she felt deeply connected to these beautiful people and the land. Taran soon realized going on with "life as usual" wasn't an option. She felt inspired to make this remote area one of our retreat locations and connect communities from all over the world.
After many beautiful trips to this area, she noticed the beauty is equally met with many harsh realities a large population of India faces living in a village. They face challenges such as a lack of self-sufficiency, education, and employment opportunities. This is creating havoc in the lives of the people, leading to problems such as drug/alcohol abuse, violence, and depression.
The CSY aim is to improve the livelihood of these beautiful people and keep their strong culture alive.
