This is Grace from God , inspired and implemented by two ladies Justices and one lady Advocate.
☆ What is Grace ?
♡♡ It's a free Gift from God which can't be earned.
Grace is God's willingness to use his power, God's authority, God's ability on my behalf , even though I don't deserve it .
Street Providence was delighted when we got the news that our NGO was selected by the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay & Goa at Porvorim to receive an amount of Rs 5 Lakhs which was fine paid by an erring party for carrying on illegal activities and construction in violation of the CRZ rules.
Attached the newspaper cutting of 11.1.2022.
The Petition was filed by Roshan Mathias a well- know social activist from Candolim., who is now contesting the Assembly Elections from Calangute Constituency.
Roshan Mathias is well known across Goa for his activism concerning the betterment of Goa & its environment.
I hope and pray that he finally reaches the Goa Assembly this coming Assembly elections.
The advocate for Petitioner Adv. Norma Alvares suggested 4 organizations to the High Court.
The High Court who assessed the work done by the recommended NGOs , finally choose two Ngos
1. Anyay Rahit Zindagi (ARZ) and
2. Street Providence
vide its Judgement dated 10th January 2022.
Thanks to Justice Manisha Pitale & Justice Sadhana Jadhav for the support.
Street Providence has always believed that if our commitment is high, our work honest and sincere and our vision to end homelessness and hunger in Goa is clear, miracles will pop up along the way to make this dream happen.
We thank Adv. Norma Alvares and the Hon’ble High Court Justices for validating our work which only gives us an impetus to work harder.
With this amount given by the Honourable High Court this is how we intend to use the same :
1. Our second women home with a capacity of 20 homeless street women with disabilites will be allocated Rs 3 lacs as this is the need of the hour as its not Government funded .
2. We intend to purchase rs 1 lac worth
disability aids / mobility aids & equipments to give out to poor people to use and return incase they require such help
3. We intend to expand our Knowledge bank ( library ) by installing more cupboards across Goa by allocating Rs 1 lac towards this cause .
Once again it feels proud and encouraging , that inspite of being just 4 years old , we have managed to capture the attention of the JUDICARY towards ending hunger and Homelessness, especially towards homeless stteet women with disabilities.
God bless you all.
