Aditya lives with his father, mother and eldest brother in Kharadi Village in Maharshtra, India. They live in one small room made of brick. The family is from the nomadic tribal community, traditionally a very poor and marginalized community in India. They earn about £15 per month.
Both children go to the local school. However as the family could not afford proper school materials, such as pens and copybooks, the boys were at risk of dropping out. Aditya was embarrassed to attend classes with all the rest of the children who could afford the basic school materials.
In July 2015 the project team learnt of the two boys through the local teachers and went to visit the family. Through the generous help of project donors they were able to provide Aditya and his brother with school bags, drawing material, notebook and stationary.
Now Aditya and his brother are regularly attending school and their grades have improved. The boys and their parents were happy the project team was able to help them out in this small way. It would not have been possible without the help of our funders.
