Case Study:

Munni and Rani

Children currently at Sreepur Village

Munni and Rani are two sisters who were brought to Shishu Polli Plus by their uncle Md. Abdur Rahim on 12 August 2000 when Munni was 1 and Rani was 2 years old.

Both the sisters were in a vulnerable situation when their mother died and their family was unable to trace the father. Their uncle took care of them, but he was poor and was unable to continue to support these two little girls. As a result he brought them to SPP for long term care.

Later their father came back to the area and he has visited them in Shishu Polli Plus but he refused to take them back to the family as he has married again and the family is very poor. Their father is a rickshaw puller, but is now old and sick and is unable to work every day.

Munni is now 10, studying in class 2, and Rani is 11 and studying in class 4. Rani is doing well but Munni misses her family and is not doing as well in school. When we have our weekly cleaning programme she often comes and helps Pat with whatever cleaning project she is doing and we try to give her that little bit of extra attention she needs. We are also working with the family to see if we can support them sufficiently for the girls to be able to safely return to their village and their family.
