My name is
Esther Murmu, mother of Rejoy Murmu a sponsored child from subproject
PRO. Our income was not enough to provide a quality education to our son
in a good private English medium school and we felt highly favored when
Rejoy was chosen for sponsorship from subproject Poro, Sunderpahari on
26th October 2016. His generous sponsor Todd Schmitmeyer chose to
support Rejoy for education. At present, Rejoy is studying in grade VI
in Bethel Mission School, Godda. The school is located around 42 km from
our village so Rejoy lives in a rented house with his aunt near school.
I got opportunity to attend various livelihood trainings conducted by
CFCA for sponsored communities and my husband & I got motivation &
guidance to get engaged in income generating activities to improve
family's economic growth. Consequently we started cloth selling
business. I availed a loan of Rs. 10000 of loan from the sponsored
community and we invested Rs.12000 in our cloth selling business in the
year 2020 and our small business ran successfully. We sell women's
apparel, men's apparels & kids' apparel in a small shop at our home and
we go to nearby villages also for selling clothes. We are earning
average Rs. 5000 every month. Now we are able to save some for future
and we are hopeful that our son Rejoy also will complete his education
successfully with no obstruction. My husband, Rejoy and I are very much
thankful to CFCA sponsorship program to help us overcome poverty and to
improve our quality of life.
