The KISS Foundation has extended a helping hand to two hapless brothers of Telgabeda village under Jianga panchayat in Mathili block of Malkangiri district.
Notably, the elder brother, who was sold by his parents, had been rescued by Anganwadi Worker Jayanti Khara, who provided him care after learning about his situation.
The younger sibling was rescued from Siraguda village, where he was engaged as a goat tender. After knowing about the plight of the two siblings from the media, KISS Foundation founder Dr Achyuta Samanta came forward to help them. He contacted them through his representatives and assured them that they would be admitted to the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), where they would receive free education.
The KISS Foundation will provide Rs 2,000 per month to them to meet their day-to-day expenses.
