Mrs. Pachaivalli
Mrs. Pachaivalli, age 50, lives in Indiranagar village, India. Her home was destroyed by the 2004 tsunami and her husband later abandoned her and their four children. Often rural Indian women in similar circumstances are made outcasts in their communities. But CWS partner CASA was committed to building Mrs. Pachaivalli and her children a new home -- part of what CASA director Sushant Agrawal calls a commitment to "human dignity."
