Help for a Paralyzed Man to do business

Narasimha Murthy was a daily wage construction worker living with his wife and three children in Magadi, Karnataka. In an incident that changed his life drastically, he fell from the top of a tree and got severally injured, paralyzing himself from hip down. He was under treatment at St. John’s Hospital, Bangalore for the past 2 years and now moves around in a wheel chair.

He is keen to find out some means to support his family and education of his children. He received some land from his in-laws and wants to setup a chicken farm shed in that land. Once the basic structure is set up, he can tie-up with other farms who will supply the chicks, feed, medicines etc. His job will be to take care of the birds and once the chicken are around 2 kg, he could sell them back to the farms.

Murthy’s plan is to build a farm big enough to fetch him Rs. 15,000 per month. The total cost of the shed would be around Rs. 1 Lakh including all feeding equipment. He approached MicroCharity for financial help, with a promise to start contributing to future cases on MicroCharity once he starts receiving returns from his venture.

MicroCharity approves the fund request of Rs. 50,000.

Fund Raising is closed for this cause.  Rs 50,000 is raised from 17 micro donations in 8 days. We will be passing the amount to Narasimha murthy soon.
