Suman John founded Sahayak Hath in 1992, not long after she joined Youth With A Mission. Sahayak Hath means “helping hands” in Hindi, and that is exactly what she wanted to be for the poor and destitute in Pune, Maharashtra, India. After she married E.J. John in 1995, they continued the work together, expanding projects to meet the community development needs of the people living in the slum areas they were serving. In 2008, E.J. passed away very suddenly. Despite feeling the extreme pain of the loss, Suman has persevered in service to the poor and needy. Today, she and ten staff members serve the people in a variety of ways through this ministry of YWAM India in the Bhatnagar area of Pimpri, Pune, India.
