My name is Amana I am six years old with no future !
My mother is unable to support me as she worked for daily wage of $1 in the gravel pits but recently she has been involved in a community operated sewing project which is helping us a little. I have a brother he is five years. My daddy a fisherman was washed off the boat in a cyclone three years ago and we never saw him again.
We want to go to school but like so many other fisher folk children we cannot as there is no money. If I remain uneducated by 12 years age I will be working!
My name is Amika, I am alone and only 25 years. I am the mother of Anna and Anil. We live in an area where there are more than 84,000 fisher folk. We have low caste status and are regarded as a “backward class’ living in poverty, with very bad housing. The Government recently built some one family per room residences 50 to the street and I am blessed to have this better place to live with my family. We walk to the end of the street to the toilet and get water. Many of our husbands died at sea because of cyclones, storms and accident. Like all the other women alone in India no man wants to marry me as I am used goods! I am so happy that now I am part of the sewing initiative and no longer have to work in the gravel pits breaking rocks with a hammer.
In a visit to this region not only was Amika & family found but 1200 families like her needing help to be self supporting not only with a sewing project but in the education of their children. We responded to begin to meet a very evident need to empower the believers to empower the church. The Sewing Initiative was started by Four Corners Ministries 2 years ago in order that Amika and the hundred women abandoned through disaster, divorce, disease, alcoholism, drugs, or death may be self supporting. Immediately we discovered four hundred children disadvantaged through absentee fathers who were regularly unable to attend school, in an area where there are at least 1200 churched families needing educational assistance.
We discovered this family and one hundred like them in a developing relationship with a leader in the area community. These women who are forced to work in the gravel pits and menial low caste daily work payment jobs earning less than $1 a day are desirous of seeing their children educated.
A sewing Initiative assisting them to gain self support has equipped more than thirty women in the short time it has functioned. Ten more are seeking training.
As a result of relationship with this area we want to help the children condemned to little or no education to achieve and become valuable community members, reaching their full potential.
