Katrina Kaif is what they call a beautiful saviour.
Along with her mother Sussanne Turquotte, Katrina is playing mom to several babies especially girls, through Sussanne’s organisation Relief Projects India (RPI) in Chennai. Under this comes Claretian Mercy Home which works towards eradicating female infanticide and shelter abandoned aged people and girl babies.
The mother and star daughter are seriously working over poverty-stricken Azhagusirai village, situated in Tamil Nadu, 29-km from Madurai. Generally the people here carry an aversion towards female child, due to the dowry practice. Claretian Mercy Home takes in the abandoned girls and takes overall care and love until they are ready for adoption. Reports say that Katrina and Sussanne have supervised the construction of a neo-natal and baby care centre in Azhagusurai that receives abandoned babies who are cared for by locals under the supervision of the RPI and a Rev Fr. Franz Xavier Dirberger from Germany who founded the Claretian Mercy Home in 1986.
Kat said to be putting her heart and soul into this organisation and recently opened a special department ‘Little Darlings’. This is said to be dedicated to provide skill development facilities to toddlers.
The actress is now planning to start a similar organisation closer home in Mumbai. Interestingly the ma-beti jodi are planning to go global by collaborating with some charitable organisations.
Stated Kat, “It is my constant effort to help my mother’s charity and make it stronger with each passing day. We have plans to expand globally because the more people know about our work, the more support we will get. In India, we’ve got a lot of support from people as well as the government.”
Our best wishes to you and your mummy, Katrina! Keep up the good work!
