| We are proud to serve Rajiv Gandhi Home for Physically challenged people for about 2 years. We are just started in Nov 2004, but Rajiv Gandhi home was started long back 1996 by Kavitha. She gave us a beautiful, noble chance to serve this society of young people who are challenging every aspect of their lives. |

| Its also very interesting for us to know the person who is behind all this encouragement for those phsyically challenged students to success in their career through higher education, self employment, etc. Nice person, amiable, smiling, polite woman who is the backbone of Rajiv Gandhi Home for these challenged people is Kavitha. pls look at her profile and read abt this NGO. Slowly we can realize the power of our contribution and its significance. Kudos to PEC IT 2000! |

“I was born Kavita Mani. Now I’m just Kavita,” she says this with no pride, no bitterness. It is only after hearing her story that you understand the significance of that journey, a journey from despair to independence, from self-pity to selfhood. |

| Kavita was the third of seven children, who lost their father when she was only eleven. Four years later she lost the power of her limbs to a rare form of polio. With four younger brothers and sisters at home and no steady source of income for the family, she thought of herself as a terrible burden. |

| Driven out of her home by her own unhappiness Kavita joined a hostel run by missionaries where she learned basic living skills, later she moved to a government run hostel for disadvantaged girls and women. A place where orphans, widows, disabled and destitute women were offered food and shelter. She would spend the next fifteen years of her life at this center. Battling her own loneliness and loss Kavita looked around at the women around her, “Many of them were in much worse situations than mine,” she says in her soft Tamil, “I saw them and realized with a sense of shock how blessed I was to have as much as I did. I wanted to help them.” Kavita reached out to these women, and with the warmth and wisdom that come so naturally to her, formed friendships that would last a lifetime. “I met all kinds of people there,” she says, “I don’t know how to explain it but without my being aware I was getting an education.” |
