When Sahaayam was just a seed of thought, Amul came to the founder looking for employment. He was a godsend. It was then when the passion became deeper and the idea of Sahaayam took its flight. Amul is the key person at Sahaayam, looking after all the functions from operations to administration and marketing to finances are looked after by him. Though he has only two of his four limbs functioning, Amul is observant and quick. His dedication to work and contribution to Sahaayam is unparalleled.

After her father’s death, means became meager and survival, a tough task. Janvi joined Sahaayam during her family’s financial crisis. Belonging to Kutch, Janvi is a strong-headed and determined woman. Despite her 90% immobility, she came with one thought in her mind: to become independent. Unable to find housing and having difficulty living alone in a city, Pallavi approached Surat’s governor, Mr. Dhawal Patel. He generously helped Janvi’s situation and found her a home in the shelter for the homeless in the city. But this did not solve all of Janvi’s problems, lack of provision for handicapped on public transport, and expensive private transport made her commute to work difficult. Finding a solution to this problem, Sahaayam provided Janvi a sewing machine at her shelter house, allowing her to work from there, without having to go through the pains of traveling. Janvi’s efficiency in her work and her drive to become independent goes a long way to show that “where there is a will, there is a way”.
