Reshma's story illustrates this transformative impact.
At five years old, Reshma became a household servant when her mother passed away. After experiencing harsh working conditions and physical abuse, she ran away and began living in a government home. Throughout her childhood, Reshma struggled with the trauma of her experiences as well as speech and hearing challenges which made her feel insecure.
When Reshma turned 18, she came to JATAS. Case Workers connected her to safe housing, a relational network, educational support, and counseling to overcome the challenges of her past. Speech therapy and hearing treatments empowered her to develop new confidence and find her voice. With full tuition support and holistic care, Reshma completed her secondary education and received a Master's degree in Social Work.
JATAS played a pivotal role in Reshma's remarkable transformation. Today, she is a confident and independent woman, a stark contrast to the shy, unsure girl who first arrived at our doorstep. She works full time using skills from her education and lives independently, with ongoing advocacy and support through her engagement with the JATAS Alumni Association. Reshma's life today is a testament to the transformative power of JATAS, where vulnerability and hardship found hope, empowerment, and a future filled with possibilities.
