Nizam joined the staff at Deep Griha Society the age of 22 years old as an assistant to Pranil, the team leader for Aahar Kendra. He spent his time working on a programme that was close to his heart as he had received help from the programme for many years as a sponsor child.

Although he has now left this post after over 1 year with us, he gained a lot of experience during his time at DGS.

Nizam benefited from the Aadhar Kendra scheme since he was 9 years old, and said that the biggest benefits of the scheme for him were receiving food each day after school, being given books and clothes and getting his exam fees paid for. This was vital for him as he had no father to support him through his education. Nizam said that ‘it helped him not to feel alone in the world.’

While working on the Aadhar Kendra Child Sponsorship Programme, he enjoyed the support he received working with Pranil who, amongst many other things, taught him how to use a computer. Alongside working for DGS, Nizam was studying for a commerce degree.
