2024 Updates

Practical help. Specific needs. Right moment.

2024 focused on practical help at specific points of need. The support was modest in scale, but it addressed immediate problems and made daily life more manageable for the people involved.

Rain Tarps for Families in Pondicherry

When monsoon rains struck Pondicherry, two dozen families living in fragile shelters faced nights of flooding and exposure. Sitis Christi provided durable rain tarps for immediate protection from the weather. The support was simple, but it helped keep homes drier and reduced the risks families faced during the rainy season.

A Motorbike for a Single Mother

A single mother who had been sleeping in the rain found a way to earn income by selling toys to tourists at the beach. Without transportation, she walked miles each day from a shelter to the shoreline. Sitis Christi provided a motorbike, which made the daily commute safer and more reliable. She can now arrive earlier and earn more consistently to support her child.

More consistent ability to support her child

"These examples show how targeted support can remove immediate barriers. A tarp can keep a family dry. A motorbike can make work possible. In 2024, Sitis Christi concentrated on practical responses that met clear needs at the right time."
