About Jyoti Ahirwal
Jyoti Ahirwal lives with her parents and two brothers in a brick and concrete house in a small village in Central India. The climate in this village is hot and humid with heavy monsoon rains in the summer months. The village is located near a river. The family uses wood and cow-pies as fuel to cook their meals. The water well the family uses is about 100 meters from their home.
Jyoti helps with gardening, cooking meals, babysitting her siblings, and other chores such as gathering firewood, making and drying cow pies, fetching water in buckets from the well, and carrying them home for her mom to use for cooking and cleaning. Her parents are low-waged laborers, which means each day they go out looking for manual jobs to earn a very modest income for their family. Jyoti wants to become a doctor one day. She enjoys dancing, singing, and reading. She also enjoys playing kho-kho (an Indian game) and soccer with her friends. Her favorite foods are dal (lentils), rice, and vegetables.
Please pray for Jyoti as she comes from a Hindu family with no believers. Jyoti needs your help and support to provide for her school fees, uniform, books, school bag, and other needs.
Thank you for helping provide Hope, Dignity, and a Future to Jyoti!
