Aiming to fly high,
an Air Hostess in the making
I have been looked after by Elizabeth Mayne Children's Home for the last 13 years. I lost my mother when I was a child and my father when I was in 3rd standard. Today me and my sister live with our unemployed grandmother. Without parental support, we struggled with basic needs and education, with just dreams to study and build a better future for ourselves.
We as a family faced extreme financial hardship. Since losing our parents, our unemployed grandmother has cared for my sister and me. But we struggled for food, education and healthcare. Elizabeth Mayne Children's Home opened their doors for us, when I was just 5 years old. We felt immense relief and happiness.
The warm welcome from teachers and peers created a supportive, nurturing environment. With proper care, nutritious food, and a safe space, we gained confidence and grew emotionally. Today I am pursuing my studies at St. Mary's Composite PU College and hoping to fulfill my dreams.

My Life at Elizabeth Mayne Children's Home:
After being admitted to Elizabeth Mayne Children's
Home, I felt immense happiness and relief. The teachers and my peer group welcomed me warmly, creating a nurturing and supportive environment. The dedicated teachers not only guided me academically but also provided constant encouragement, helping me excel in my studies. My peers offered companionship and made me feel valued and included.
Additionally, the home ensured my overall well-being by providing proper care, nutritious food, and a safe, comfortable living space. I am deeply grateful for the love, support, and opportunities I have received which have significantly shaped my growth, confidence and to do my B. A Degree at Indian Academy successfully.

I come from a small family-just me and my mother who is a dedicated teacher who works hard to support me. I lost my father when I was in my first year of my degree. Since then, my mother has had to make countless sacrifices. Often we've had to make difficult choices, but her tireless efforts always inspired me to study hard and make her proud.
In 2015, Elizabeth Mayne Children's Home welcomed us and gave us the hope and strength including the opportunity to stay, work and study. They received us with warmth and care, making us feel safe, comfortable, and supported. My mother was offered a position to work as staff at the foundation. We were provided with nutritious food, care, and all our basic needs. It brought a sense of security which we hadn't felt in a long time.
Today, I am deeply grateful for the love, support, and opportunities I have received at the home, as they have played a major role in my personal growth, confidence, and ability to continue my education. I am proud to be pursuing my B.Com degree at United International Business School (UIBS), and I carry with me the strength and support I gained every step of the way. I hope and dream to be a successful Business woman.

Dreams of being a
Business Woman
Education has always been my biggest dream, but after finishing school in Tamil Nadu, my family’s financial struggles forced me to put it on hold. Life was full of hardships. I had to watch my dreams slip away, struggle to support myself, and face the reality that higher education might never happen. In June 2021, I heard about the Elizabeth Mayne Children’s Home through some relatives. I joined the Home and found a safe place to stay, a chance to continue my studies, and the courage to work part-time to support myself.
The Home became more than just a shelter — it became a turning point in my life. It was a place where hope was restored, opportunities were given, and lives were transformed.
It taught me discipline, responsibility, and confidence, and helped me believe that my dreams could still come true.
At Elizabeth Mayne Foundation, every child deserves to Hope, Heal, and Thrive.

Aiming to serve by becoming
Nurses and a Policeman
I lost my parents in the 7th standard and we lived with our aunt near a cemetery, facing financial struggles and lack of basic needs. Despite hardships, I was always determined to study and support my younger siblings, Devi and Arjun, aiming for a better future through education.
Facing poverty, without clean water, electricity or sanitation, lacking nutritious food, healthcare and school resources, my siblings and I struggled without parental support.
Despite this, we were all determined to study, believing education was the path to a better future. After joining Elizabeth Mayne Children's Home, our lives changed completely. We received safety, care, education and support we lacked before. The staff's kindness and new friendships brought us comfort and hope. Now, with a sense of belonging and stability, we are able to work hard, achieve our goals and embrace every opportunity ahead.
JAYASEELI
AGE 48
Jayaseeli, serving in children's home
since 23 years
Her parents forced her to get married and when she refused having seen the plight of her elder sisters with abusive husbands, the parents got a bond signed that she is not their daughter.
She chose to spend her life in service of her family members and other children. Since then she has been the caring support for the children at Elizabeth Mayne Foundation.
I feel so consoled when I see children come back to me with the same love and affection after getting a scolding from me, while correcting them. Cooking food for them makes me very happy. I am told I can be paid high salaries for the service outside but this place is like my parent's home. I feel I am here with my sisters and family.
MANDALAMA
AGE 50
A widow who live with her daughter
She left her home because of domestic abuse in search of a job and a safe place to stay. She heard about the children's home and secured the job as a warden for the girls, while enabling a stay with her daughter. All her prayers were answered when her daughter's schooling, food and accommodation had all been taken care with a job as a Warden and Physical Education Teacher in a primary school during the day.
I like that I am independent and living with pride.
Being self reliant makes me feel proud. I don't want other women or girls to suffer like me. I feel low when people empathise for me. Being a single parent at times makes me feel heavy about managing the future of my daughter. My quote for women: No woman should feel alone in distress, never feel that you are alone. We should manage our challenges with utmost courage and never let oneself down.
Success Stories
SHANTI KAIPENG
AGE 21
From a small village in Tripura, where access to education and technology was almost nonexistent, life was a constant battle for survival. Poverty and illness made survival itself a challenge. In this environment, pursuing education was not just difficult — it seemed impossible.
My father, once a farmer, is now unable to work due to health issues. My mother, battling illness for 9 years, still carries the burden of our family by cutting rubber. With eight members in the family, education always seemed like a distant dream. On July 13, 2023, I boarded my first-ever flight to Bengaluru with just ₹500 in my pocket. Clueless about Ola, Uber, or even how to reach my college, I walked until I could afford a ride. That journey taught me resilience and adaptability.
On July 14, 2023, I joined Elizabeth Mayne Children’s Home.
For the first time, I found stability—education, healthcare, nutritious food, and a safe environment. This home gave me confidence, support, and hope for my future. Today, I am pursuing my BSc in Data Science at Kristu Jayanti College. I aspire to be an entrepreneur and data scientist, using technology to uplift underprivileged communities. The Elizabeth Mayne Foundation has given me the chance to Hope, Heal, and Thrive.
