Amma Raj Joshi’s Story
The Bigger Picture
Amma Raj Joshi is just one of nearly 17.9 million orphans around the world who have lost both their parents. Unfortunate children like him have found their home in orphanages and foster homes. Amma Raj Joshi lost his parents at a very young age. His father was a member in the military who sacrificed his life for his country while his mother committed suicide after depression shackled her life following the sudden and untimely loss of her husband.
The death of both the parents left Amma Raj Joshi on his own with no one to call family, no one to take responsibility of his, no one to look after him, no one to provide for him, and no one to look at for help in the whole wide world. He never met his grandparents; to this day, He doesn’t know where they live and whether they are still alive or have passed away like his parents.
At an age when children cry for toys and ask for their favorite food, all that Amma Raj Joshi wants is the company and embrace of his parents.
We’re surprised how strong his little heart is to have survived two major losses of his life one after the other when he’s not even ten years old. We admire her courage to have accepted what has happened. As of now, he wishes to be granted the opportunity to finish school like every other child. He is truly a brave, compassionate, and intelligent soul in the body of a little boy.

Homeless to Stardom – The incredible success story of Sunil
Like many of the children at Home, Sunil was just a child when he arrived at the orphanage. He was only 7 years old when decided to take him under its wings, give him a new home, a new family and hope for a better future.
Sunil lived with his ailing mother in a bus stand, living off of the streets and the kindness of strangers. After his mother’s death, Sunil was left alone and had nowhere to go. For young Sunil, the future seemed bleak and desolate. There we found Sunil and decided to take him into our home.
Since it was found in 2012, Saat Trust has been working towards the education and rehabilitation of orphan, destitute and estranged children. Located in Bangalore in Karnataka, it is currently home to 45 boys and 31 girls.
Growing up at the children’s home, Sunil showed a lot of promise and excelled in several fields including sports and acting. He developed a keen interest particularly towards dancing and acting. He was encouraged to participate and showcase his skills at various events and was also made a part of numerous street plays and short films. After he finished his 10th, special arrangements were made to train Sunil to hone his skills and talent.
