Testimonial

Safe living

“I study in 3rd class and live with my grandmother. My mother abandoned me before my father was released. Now he’s out of prison, but he’s gone to India. He couldn’t earn money because of his health problems. I’m studying thanks to the Nepal Prison Fellowship program, and they’ve also helped us build a house. Now I can live safely in this house with my grandmother. »
