My Story
Intro
When individuals are imprisoned for their deviant behavior, their punishment does not end with the completion of their stay at the prison, but continuous after they are released from prison. The society in which they live, isolates them and they are looked down upon. They have huge difficulty in finding any jobs through which they can sustain their livelihood. This case is even more sensitive in the case of former women inmates. Through her ventures Pushpa, “Nepal’s Mother to Prison Children”, aims to help their plight through a sustainable social business strategy.
