No, I don’t believe money can buy happiness.
But yes, money is important to survive and to fulfill needs. It cannot bring happiness to your life until you have people around you. Happiness is something which can come from seeing people around us happy and to be part of their happy moments.

Despite all the hardships he endured, Naveen, through sheer determination and sincerity, managed to complete his graduation but was at a loss as what step to take next.
The turning point in his life came when he joined the third batch of BFSI at MITRAz. On completion of his course, with the help of the foundation, Naveen set up a small business to deliver vegetables and groceries in Puttaparthi whilst working part time with MITRAz in admin and mobilization work.
He not only earns enough to support himself but also his mother and is now pursuing an MBA from JNTU. He remains grateful to MITRAz for giving him the opportunity of a life time and is paying back by volunteering with the foundation. During the second wave of the pandemic, under the guidance of MITRAz, he has undertaken delivery of free food and vegetables to needy people in Puttaparthi.
His parents only have good things to say about him, “Earlier he was lazy and careless. Now he takes his life and studies seriously. He has become responsible and feels he must work towards achieving something in his life. MITRAz is how any Institute should be.”

In the middle of every difficulty lies an opportunity
Things were tough for Mahalakshmi’s family. She worked at a hospital and brought home a measly sum of Rs 10,000 with which to support her family of four. She worked hard but it was barely enough to sustain her two growing children. Sheer chance, brought her to the doorstep of the MITRAz Foundation.
She enrolled herself in the fifth batch of the GDA course and immersed herself in upgrading her skills in order to give her family a better life. MITRAz placed her with Apollo Home Care in Chennai where she works as a home care giver. She earns Rs 16,000 a month and is more than happy to finally be able to provide a comfortable lifestyle for her young family.
She enrolled herself in the fifth batch of the GDA course and immersed herself in upgrading her skills in order to give her family a better life. MITRAz placed her with Apollo Home Care in Chennai where she works as a home care giver. She earns Rs 16,000 a month and is more than happy to finally be able to provide a comfortable lifestyle for her young family.
Ever smiling and a dedicated worker, her works speaks for itself. After working as a home care-giver for an elderly woman for just one day, the lady refused to accept the services of any other care-giver sent by the agency. “I want that sister back”, said the patient. “She has treated me so well. Like I was her mother. I want her and only her”. These words shocked an already astounded Mahalakshmi as she rushed back to the care centre. She couldn’t believe it! Her hard work had finally paid off. It was a true moment of reckoning for her!
On being asked about her journey with MITRAz, Mahalakshmi says, “MITRAz treated me like family. Each faculty member was so helpful and every time I had a doubt, they would sit me down and work me through it. Because of Mitraz, because of the outflow of support I have received, I am where I am today. Mitraz is a person, not an organization, and it is the reason I see myself here”
As humanity, collectively, we explored space. Some of us, touched the moon. Others, are trying to even colonize Mars. They sure have gone places. Gone the distance.
But not Mahalakshmi. She went farther than space. Farther than touching the moon. And farther than touching Mars. She went all the way, and touched a patient’s heart. That is what you call mesmerizing!

Ambition is the first step to success. The second step is action
Amrutha is one individual who never let the blanket of poverty and despair keep her down. Her father was an alcoholic and her mother was left to fend for her three young daughters on her own. As the eldest sibling, Amrutha’s childhood was one of compromise and yet she dealt with it uncomplainingly.
Post a few years of marriage, the devastating COVID-19 pandemic struck, and with that back came the distress. The misery. And the trouble. Her husband lost his job as a driver and their future looked bleak. She almost resigned to her fate of having to work as a maid like her mother when Lady Luck knocked on her door.

Her husband lost his job as a driver and their future looked bleak. She almost resigned to her fate of having to work as a maid like her mother when Lady Luck knocked on her door.
Her sister chanced upon MITRAz Foundation and told her about the Nurse Assistant course. Fueled by her inherent need for financial independence and her strong desire to lead a better life, she approached the course with a renewed zeal and dedication.
Amrutha’s hard work paid off and she was placed to work as a therapist in Olivia Skin Care Clinic, Bangalore. A starting salary of Rs 15,000 was something she did not even dare to dream off earlier and now she is living the life she never thought she could have.
“I don’t know what to say,” She said when she spoke to us, ““My in-laws, my relatives, they used to always look down on me. Quite begrudgingly, quite disapprovingly. But now the tables have turned! Today, I not only have a job, I not only earn my bread, on my own, I have my entire family, including my in-laws, talking to me, and respecting me while we converse.”
Today, as we look on at her success story, we realize something that has been staring us in the eye for quite a while.

Nothing is Impossible
Savitri Bai Gorla, a married woman with two children, never thought that one day she would actually be financially independent, even though she wanted it more than anything. She worked very hard but just didn’t have the training to get a suitable job that would help her to achieve her goal. She enrolled for the GDA course (batch 6) at MITRAz. With the mounting pressure of having to manage her home, children and classes, she was forced to give up her full-time job. She gave the course her all, making a lot of sacrifices along the way, and managed to complete it. She was offered several opportunities to work as a home care-giver but, to her dismay, her family raised objections to this line of work, feeling it was not good enough!
Gentle-natured Savitri waited patiently until she was able to convince her family about her taking up the job of a home care-giver and how it would turn her life around. Eventually, her patience bore fruit and she was able to start working. She has finally achieved her dream of being financially independent.
A confident and grateful Savitri says, “I have learnt how to be independent and express my opinion due to my training with MITRAz. I’m motivated to learn and earn! I am able to handle my patient’s tantrums well and stand on my own two feet. MITRAz has enabled women’s empowerment in the real sense. It motivated me to work and achieve my dreams.”
