Growing up in deep poverty and unable to hear the world around her, Puttamma’s future seemed painfully hopeless. At home, life was filled with hardship: her mother broke rocks to survive, while her father, trapped in alcoholism, offered little care. But everything changed when she entered the Seventh-day Adventist School for Speech and Hearing Impaired, a school supported by Child Impact. For the first time, Puttamma was surrounded by teachers who understood her needs and classmates who shared her struggles. She began to learn sign language, grew in confidence, and discovered her gifts. Years later, Puttamma has not only overcome barriers but flourished. She completed her education, secured a good job, and now stands as an independent, successful young woman. Your support makes stories like Puttamma’s possible—where children with disabilities discover their potential, gain dignity, and find hope for a brighter future.
