The Californer/10327309

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network's VOICES FOR HUMANITY, the weekly series presenting heroic change makers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities, announces a new episode featuring human rights activist Manishwar Purmanund.

VOICES FOR HUMANITY airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Mauritius may be known for its stunning beaches and island charm, but behind the beauty lies a history of inequality and systemic abuse. Generations have grown up unaware of their basic freedoms, leading to discrimination, domestic violence and police brutality. Determined to break the cycle, Manishwar Purmanund is working to make human rights a reality throughout Mauritius.

ABOUT MANISHWAR PURMANUND

Manishwar Purmanund grew up in Cité Atlee, a rural region of Mauritius, where he experienced the harsh reality of class-based discrimination. Inspired by his father's belief that change begins with oneself, Manishwar embarked on a life of service that led to founding the Yeshua Fellowship, a nonprofit helping families become self-sustainable through community outreach and education. He partnered with Youth for Human Rights, launching the Mauritius chapter. Through collaboration with schools, media, civic and government institutions, Manishwar has empowered over one million Mauritians with knowledge of their human rights.
