From Survivor to Artist: A Story of Courage and Hope
We are proud to share that The New Indian Express recently featured one of our children in a moving article titled:
“Sexual assault survivor gets 45 per cent in Class 12 board exams, wants to become artist.”
This young girl, supported by Karunalaya, has shown remarkable strength in the face of adversity. A survivor of sexual assault, she not only returned to school but bravely completed her Class 12 board exams, securing 45% against all odds.
What sets her apart is not just her academic achievement, but her unbreakable spirit and newfound passion—art. She dreams of becoming an artist, using her creativity as a way to heal and express herself. Through every brushstroke, she is painting a future filled with hope, strength, and possibility.
At Karunalaya, we are deeply inspired by her resilience. Her journey reminds us why we do what we do—to stand with children who have been silenced, and to help them find their voice again.
“I want to become an artist and show the world what I feel.” — she says with quiet determination.
Let her story remind us all that no child is beyond hope. With the right support, healing, education, and care, every child can dream—and every dream can take flight.
