SAPNA

On August 18, 2024, our team found a woman near Thekra railway crossing who appeared disoriented and alone. After providing care at Anandam and conducting family tracing efforts, SAPNA successfully reunited Shobha with her family — one of many such heartwarming reunions facilitated by our rehabilitation programme. The family had been searching for her for several months before SAPNA's social workers pieced together her identity through patient, persistent effort.

Arjun, found unconscious near AIIMS, was cared for at SAPNA's Trauma Centre shelter. Over months of rehabilitation and family tracing, he was successfully identified and restored to his family in a deeply emotional reunion. His case illustrates the critical importance of SAPNA's presence at the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where patients often arrive without identification or any support network. A story of patience, care and unwavering commitment from our frontline caregivers.

From lost to found — Kiran was traced and reunited with her family through SAPNA's dedicated social workers who spent months locating relatives. The journey involved cross-state coordination, working with local authorities, and maintaining sustained care for Kiran throughout the process. Her story illustrates the power of persistent, compassionate effort and the deep human need for family connection that drives SAPNA's rehabilitation work.

Rajendari was brought to SAPNA in a comatose state with no identification. Through months of medical care, nursing and rehabilitation at Anandam — including round-the-clock attention from our caregivers — she regained consciousness and recovered her health. This is testament to SAPNA's commitment to palliative and long-term care for those who have no one else. Rajendari's recovery was celebrated by the entire Anandam community as a triumph of care over abandonment.

After years of being separated, Rambha was found by SAPNA's team and traced back to her village in Banka, Bihar. She was safely escorted home in an emotional journey that brought closure to her family after years of worry. The case required coordination across two states, and Rambha's safe return home stands as a reminder of what determined, compassionate social work can achieve.

An elderly man, approximately 60 years old, was found near Lodhi in a disoriented state. SAPNA provided shelter, medical care and invested considerable effort in family tracing. He was eventually reunited with his loved ones — another story of humanity restored. Baba had been separated from his family during a period of illness, and SAPNA's patient work meant that he did not spend his final years alone and forgotten.

Little Deepmala came to SAPNA as an orphaned child in desperate circumstances. Through our care network and partnerships, she received education, nutrition and the love of a nurturing environment, giving her a new start at life. Her case galvanized our entire team and led to SAPNA strengthening its child welfare protocols. Today, Deepmala continues her education in a safe environment, a living symbol of what sustained care can achieve.

A story of how vocational training at SAPNA IT College transformed a young dropout's prospects. Coming from a family with no resources, he enrolled in our Diploma in Computer Application programme. After completing his course, he secured placement at our BPO centre and now supports his family — demonstrating the life-changing power of skill education combined with direct employment pathways. His success has inspired several of his peers from the same village to enroll in SAPNA's programmes.
