Our Beneficiaries

S. Sekar: With a history of diabetes for over 9 years, this 54 year old fish vendor was able to earn well and support his family until the dreadful Tsunami took away his livelihood. His business being very badly hit, made him very depressed and he failed to take his medications regularly. His kidneys got affected and he was put on dialysis in a hospital where he could not afford the cost. He came to TANKER, and with regular dialysis at an affordable cost, and 3 free dialysis, his health is improving. He is now able to earn Rs 3,000 per month. His son also helps him.
