Anjali Shani, 10 years old (id.: 1.)

Anjlai’s family is very poor and all 5 of them live in one small room. Her father got injured in an accident 5 years ago and since then he could not work. He was in a hospital several times and the medicines are very expensives. Her mother cooks for rich families. The income of the whole family per month is 2500 rupee (55 USD / 38 EUR).

Anjali is in the fourth year in the government school and she is a very good student. The quality of the school is very low but maybe in the next year they won’t be able to afford this school either because of her father’s state of health and the growing price of food.
