Project #6: Meet Dipika Mandal
of India
Dipika
Mandal is sponsored by Anastasia
Yecke of Florida USA.
Anastasia
writes:
Dipika is an 11-year-old girl who lives in rural India with
her parents and older sisters. Her father is a laborer and
supports his wife, Dipika, her sister Manika (age 13) and
her other sister Renuka (age 15) on roughly $29/month. The
family owns their own land but their one-room home is not
in the best condition.
They recently had the roof repaired with tile and bamboo through
Children International's sponsorship program. However, the
walls and floor of the home are made of mud; three of the
four walls are in good condition but the fourth wall has cracks
and can fall apart at any time. Children Internationl has
told us it

will
cost approximately $247 to repair the wall with bricks and
also to install a wooden door and a window in the room (the
house is currently windowless and has an open space for a
door).
The family has also requested several furniture items including
two mattresses, a dresser, pillow covers, a kerosene stove,
and a bookshelf, as well as clothing and slippers for Dipika.
The cost for these items is approximately $238. Another $15
can be raised for non-perishable food for a total of $500.
Please help us help this family; in the photos Children International
sends they always look sad and tired. We would love to literally
brighten up their home with a window, furniture and repair
the wall so the family can sleep soundly at night.

and evolved into the Lift One Project.
Just $22 a month will help a child get basic medical and dental
care, schooling, clothing, and more. Learn
