A Life Turned Around: Ravi Babu's Story

Ravi Babu was just eight years old when he lost his father to complications from paralysis—a devastating blow for any child. And his grandfather had already passed a few years before that, so the small family was left without male support or protection in their rural South Asian village.


With his two older brothers sent off to a government-run boarding school, Ravi Babu and his mother were left alone—isolated, grieving, and vulnerable.


Things looked bleak.


But then, hope stepped in.



A local village pastor connected with Restoring Hope heard Ravi Babu’s story and stepped in to help.


Soon, Ravi Babu was welcomed into our network of care. And because of our commitment to keeping families together whenever possible, Ravi Babu was able to remain in his mother’s home, surrounded by love, stability, and now, support from the local church.


A LIFE TURNED AROUND


In just a short time, Ravi Babu'’s life turned around. Today, he has regular meals, access to education, a growing relationship with Jesus, and a mother who no longer has to carry the weight of survival on her own.


Ravi Babu is one of 800 children experiencing this kind of life-change through Restoring Hope. Our partners make ongoing care for these youngsters possible. Will you do the same for even more children with a donation today?
