‘Shanti’
The Ramabai India Project
India
Raised up out of the Calcutta slums, Shanti’s life is a model of what it looks like to overcome. Shanti ran the IRIS India base until she and her husband were led to start The Ramabai India Project, which provides education to poverty stricken communities in multiple locations across rural and urban India. Their aim is to equip the underprivileged with life and vocational skills to escape poverty. *Names have been changed for their protection.
