Every action is important in whole life

Every action is important in whole life:

I am Sunpa Devi 70 years old woman of Manal-Dochi village of Sangrah block. In this village 90% dalits are living in 28 households. I have one room house which is made by stone and wood. There are nine members in my family. My son, daughter in law and six their children are living in this house. My son can’t do any work because of knee problem and her daughter in law has to work at home and at their land. Because of this situation they are all depended on agriculture in hilly area where water availability is very poor. Agriculture is based on rain. I visited in the Panchayat many times for support. But all the efforts were in vain. At last I shared my problem with PAPN volunteers.

PAPN volunteer identified the 13 dalit persons which are not getting the entitlements. They met with Deputy Commissioner of Sirmour regarding their problem. People also met with member of the State Legislative Assembly Member of Renuka Constituency. He marked their application to District Welfare Officer and after three month my house is sanctioned by welfare department. I got the first installment of 37,500 out of 75,000 in April 2017. After completion of house I will be getting the 2^nd installment of 37,500.Now my family is very happy to get this support. We are now collecting the house material wood, stone etc for making a new house. In future our family children get the separate space for their studies. In this like me 13 other person got the housing rights with the support of Action aid and PAPN. Thanks for all which are working for poor and dalit community development.
