At SOUL, we believe in the power of providing support where it’s needed most. Our programs across various fields have changed the lives of numerous individuals, empowering them to overcome challenges. Below are some of the inspirational stories from our different initiatives:
Dinu Mullick, aged 50, faced a life-threatening situation when he was attacked by a royal Bengal tiger while working in the forests of the Sundarbans. Thanks to SOUL’s Relief and Disaster Management initiative, Dinu was provided with immediate medical assistance and rehabilitative care, helping him make a full recovery. Today, Dinu has been reintegrated into normal life and continues to support his family.
Kajal Mullick, a woman in her 40s, was attacked by a tiger while resting on her boat. SOUL’s rapid response not only rescued her but also provided comprehensive medical care, emotional support, and rehabilitation. Kajal’s recovery and return to her community demonstrate the critical role SOUL’s disaster management efforts play in saving lives and restoring hope.
Panchu Bhakta, a 4-year-old born with a leg amputation, received an artificial limb through SOUL’s Udaan Program. This life-changing intervention allowed Panchu to walk, attend school, and actively participate in the community. His story highlights the importance of access to healthcare and education in shaping the future of underserved children.
Sonali Nayek, an 8-year-old once suffering from malnutrition, has been able to transform her life through the Udaan Program. She is now living a healthier and more fulfilled life, thriving both academically and personally under SOUL’s guidance.
Parbati Nayek, a 10-year-old girl, was suffering from abdominal pain on the day of her exam. Through SOUL’s telemedicine services, Parbati received immediate treatment, enabling her to sit for her exam and continue her studies. Her story exemplifies how healthcare access, combined with education support, can change the trajectory of a child's life.
Ashalata Mullick, the first Savar girl in the Sundarbans to pass the 10th standard (Madhyamik), achieved this milestone under the mentorship of SOUL's Udaan Program. Her accomplishment opens doors to new opportunities and is a testament to how education and mentorship can break barriers for marginalized communities, particularly girls.
Piyali Maity, a 19-year-old girl whose father is a daily laborer, achieved a remarkable milestone with the support of SOUL’s Youth Empowerment Program. Despite the financial hardships, Piyali scored first division in her 10+2 exams and has since qualified for an engineering course. Her journey is a powerful example of how education and mentorship can transform the lives of youth in rural and economically challenged regions.
These success stories are just a glimpse of the transformative work SOUL is doing through its various programs. Every day, we continue to empower individuals like Dinu, Piyali, Ashalata, Kajal, and many others, providing them with the tools and opportunities to build better futures.
