Hello Friend, Let me turn your focus to a few unfailing promises of
God for you in this month:
“And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also
bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and
your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring
of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give
you” (Deuteronomy 7:13)
“And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply
you exceedingly.” (Genesis 17:2)
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that
we ask or think, according to the power that works in us”
(Ephesians 3:20 )

I got married in 1991. In 1993, my husband died in a road accident and I was heartbroken. I
did not know what to do.
I came to know of the Prayer Tower and wrote a letter seeking prayers for me. I was com-
forted by the reply. After that I was in contact with the Prayer Tower regularly. I also supported
the ministry with what offering I could give.
After this, I who had studied up to 6th std., did my higher studies. I had
requested for a good job. By the grace of God I got a government job. Now I
am doing well.
I educated my son with great difficulty. By the grace of God, he has also
completed his B.E and is holding a good job. Thanks to you, who prayed for

At SEESHA, we see women of indomitable spirit in the rural and urban poor communities where we work.
They may be uneducated, without a job, widowed or dealing with an alcoholic spouse – but they never stop
seeking ways to support and uplift their families. That is why we support such women through trainings,
awareness campaigns and financial assistance, building their capacities to play the roles they have so passion-
ately taken up in their homes and communities.
Though SEESHA awareness on a range of topics including health, hygiene, disease, financial management,
rights, government schemes, water conservation, waste management, etc. are made. Help to improve the
health, financial status and quality of living in their families, long-term and short-term skill training courses such
as tailoring, jute-bag making, cosmetology, etc. equip them to become breadwinners and entrepreneurs who
can financially support their families, is given. Self-help groups and women’s groups help them manage revolv-
ing funds and support the financial needs of their families. Monthly financial assistance for women who are
widowed or have been made destitute is provided. Motivated women are trained in various areas of health and
environment, and groomed into Community Health Facilitators (CHFs) who act as ambassadors to promote
health and prevent disease within their own local communities.
Last year 430 women were trained in tailoring through 13 centres. 39 sewing machines distributed to
women who completed tailoring training. 731 women received awareness and skill training in various short-
term programmes. 222 widows/destitute women were supported financially.
SEESHA’S SUPPORT :
“I am S. Sasikala from Keelkavarapettu village. My husband passed away 6 years
ago, leaving me with my two children – one son and one daughter. I am a daily-wage
labourer, working in agricultural fields. I do not get regular work, and the wages I earn
is not sufficient. As we live below poverty line, I find it difficult to fulfil the growing needs
of my children. Thanks to SEESHA, I am now being supported financially on a monthly
basis to take care of my children’s needs. Moreover, I am being trained at SEESHA
Tailoring Centre so that I can start my own business and support my family without having to depend
on anyone else. I am truly grateful for this wonderful opportunity that gives me hope for the future.”
