Together they set up a home for the destitute. Ansaldo had a very special focus on these afflicted Women and widows, children who were affected by child marriage, young widows because it was the time in which the poor women were exploited sexually and misused by the upper caste people. They were forced to work only the menial jobs also the prejudices of the Indians against women\u2019s education were still too strong. Realizing the situation of the afflicted women and widows, in order to bring them out of that situation, Ansaldo started orphanages and school to give literacy to these poor women and widows, which was a revolutionary step against the prevailing caste system.<\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4975daf dsvy-col-stretched-none dsvy-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"4975daf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-831ad64 dsvy-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"831ad64\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3cbc3d elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-dsvy_icon_heading\" data-id=\"a3cbc3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"dsvy_icon_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dsvy-ihbox dsvy-ihbox-style-4\"><div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-box d-flex align-items-center\">\r\n<div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-icon\"><div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"far fa-arrow-alt-circle-right\"><\/i><\/div><\/div>\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-contents\">\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"dsvy-element-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tToiled for the economic development of the widows\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .dsvy-ihbox-contents -->\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0601c6e dsvy-col-stretched-none dsvy-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0601c6e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1ea56e dsvy-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"a1ea56e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25b4210 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25b4210\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>He also realized, with literacy, the importance of economic development was also important in the process or the empowerment of poor Women and widows.

of the country. In order to provide for the needs of the colonial rulers more taxes were imposed. But the poor people who lived below the poverty line were not able to pay them. The British and the French soldiers looted the houses and raped the women and as a result, the children born of those accidents outside wedlock were left destitute. There was also in practice the habit of auctioning slaves publicly in the markets.<\/p><p>The solution that struck his mind was that the womenfolk must go to school to learn and must also learn some trade that would make them at least relatively independent at the beginning stage and permanently independent in the long run. For this purpose, he founded a school for the womenfolk to give them an education and to protect young widows and the women who were the victims of sexual crimes.\u00a0\u00a0 Ansaldo also started an orphanage in shepherd street in 1775 and dedicated it to the protection of St. Aloysius Gonzaga<sup>.<\/sup><\/p><p>In course of time due to the caste system practiced in the house of the abandoned, namely, the minor convent run under the patronage of St. Louis de Gonzaga was divided into two one for the low caste\/casteless who were considered highly polluted and untouchables and the other for the caste people. Among the inmates there were few women with good heart taking care of these orphans they are non-other than the sisters of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Thus, till today Sisters show their preferential love to the afflicted, to the abandoned women and oppressed children in the Society.<\/p><p>During his life, Ansaldo carried on all his works with full of confidence in the Lord; but after his death, difficulties were encountered. However, in the midst of such financial and situational crisis the two minor convents (St. Aloysius Gonzaga and Bon Secours) and one major convent (Carmel) are still existing as full- fledged Religious Congregations. They dedicate their lives to the service in the spirit of the founder Servant of God Michael Ansaldo, in taking care of the orphans and in reaching out the poor and the downtrodden in the society.<\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2bb15b9 dsvy-col-stretched-none dsvy-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"2bb15b9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-16d0e71 dsvy-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"16d0e71\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4aa8d4e elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-dsvy_icon_heading\" data-id=\"4aa8d4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"dsvy_icon_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dsvy-ihbox dsvy-ihbox-style-4\"><div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-box d-flex align-items-center\">\r\n<div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-icon\"><div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"far fa-arrow-alt-circle-right\"><\/i><\/div><\/div>\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"dsvy-ihbox-contents\">\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"dsvy-element-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFoundation of a small school for girls\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .dsvy-ihbox-contents -->\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fe49f35 dsvy-col-stretched-none dsvy-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fe49f35\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fae0ee3 dsvy-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"fae0ee3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-799fa0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"799fa0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The heart of Servant of God was moved by the drastic condition of the young girl children.
