Child
Maharashtra
I live with my older brother, mother & grandparents in the red-light slum area. We are a family of 5. I lost my father recently and hence our financial condition has worsened.
My mother is differently abled and is unable to go for routine work. My older brother is the only one earning. He earns a little each month by selling vegetables. My grandmother sells Chinese street food, but their incomes are not enough to properly sustain the family.
Many a times we don’t have the means to afford good clothing. I go to the Sahaara Education Centre and have progressed quite well in the tests that I give monthly. I am able to pick up studies well. I actively participate in class as well.
