Kavith wants to follow his brother’s healthy footsteps

Kavith is a nursery student in the Primary School run by HOPE Foundation in Pudupattinam, near Chennai, India. He is the youngest son of Desihgh and Chithra. Desihgh is a fisherman and Chitra goes from door to door selling fish. Kavith has an older brother, Desappan, who also studies in school run by HOPE Foundation. The family resides in a tsunami rehabilitation house in Uyyalikuppam fisherman colony.

At the time of admission, the school ensured that Kavith was taken to the government run primary health clinic where he was given the DPT (Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) shot, and OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine). Kavith will continue receiving OPV whenever there is a pulse polio drive. A primary health worker will also be visiting the school periodically, to ensure that Kavith gets all his other vaccinations on time.

Your donation, George, will ensure that Kavith remains protected against seven deadly illnesses all his life.
