The Second Chance – The Initiative in Hyderabad

After working with several NGOs in the city, he realized that most of them did the work for publicity and that’s not what he wanted to do. In the year 2017, Jasper Paul started his NGO called The Second Chance.

The plight of the abandoned and the ones who were left on the road to suffer made him step forward to help them. Today he runs four shelter homes for the needy ones in the city giving a home to more than 130 people and has 12 staff working with him.

He said that most of their work is done with the association of the cops. The cops call them up whenever they see a sick person on the road after which they go to the place, check their condition and bring them home. If the person is in a critical condition or needs serious medical help, they carry them to the nearest hospital. Doctors and medical staff visit their homes at regular intervals for free.

As far as the data and information of the rescued are concerned, the NGO maintains a database of the ones rescued with the city police bureau. This has also helped a lot of people go back to their families after proper identification and verification.

There have been instances where he had received fraud calls but he had his way of dealing with them. The Second Chance NGO rescues men above 20 years of age and women above 50 as he does not have the license to rescue younger women. At the end of the day, more than the success story, what matters are the days when some relatives find their missing family members and they reunite.
