Get to know us

Rupa was born into a poor family, alongside five sisters. From a young age, she had a deep passion for charitable work. Despite her own financial struggles, she dedicated her time to volunteering for various charitable activities. Later in life, she married a pastor who shared her interests. Together, they embarked on a journey of charitable work. In 1997, they founded the Emmanuel Education Society, which aimed to provide free education. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, the society had to halt its operations in 2005. Undeterred, Rupa and her husband continued their philanthropic efforts. In 2008, they established the Holy Faith School, where she still actively run both the school and her charitable activities, despite the challenges she encounter along the way.

About the Founder

Rupa and Sam, along with their two caring children Ricky and Rohin, have devoted themselves to helping others through charitable work. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, they remained committed to their cause. Sadly, Rupa experienced the loss of her mother to the virus, which only strengthened her determination to fight against it.

In May 2021, Pastor Sam, who was actively involved in providing aid to rural communities, passed away from Covid-19 after contracting it while distributing food. The entire family, including their younger son, fell ill with the virus. As Pastor Sam passed away, Rupa and her son fought for their lives in intensive care, facing a challenging battle against the disease.

Even amidst immense challenges and with resources dwindling due to lack of funds, Rupa's determination remained unshaken. She continued to oversee the operations of the HFS school and their charitable initiatives, despite facing personal hardships. The toll of the situation was evident as Rupa lost approximately 15 kgs in just 1.5 months, yet she refused to let physical and financial constraints hinder her mission of serving those in need.

Over the following year, Rupa experienced another significant loss with the passing of her older sibling, who had been a source of support during tough times. Despite these personal tragedies, Rupa's compassion and strength never faltered.

Motivated by her steadfast commitment to assisting impoverished children, as well as struggling families, Rupa persisted in her efforts to provide aid for as long as she could. Her enduring dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of others serves as an inspiring example of selflessness and resilience in the face of adversity.
