Suhana is a bright student currently in class VI at Panchkuri Bangho Vidyalaya. She lives with her mother, Sonali, in a small, rented house measuring about 60 square feet, for which they pay Rs 400 per month, excluding electricity charges.
Since her father deserted the family in 2010 to marry another woman, Suhana's mother has been the sole provider. Although she works as a maidservant earning Rs 3,500 (US$- 43.75)a month, this income is not enough to cover all their expenses, including Suhana's education.
In the aftermath of her husband's betrayal, Sonali experienced significant mental distress but has recovered over the years. Despite her father's absence and lack of support, Sonali works hard to provide a stable environment for Suhana. Their family's tight finances are alleviated by the sponsorship support from Shanty Trust, which covers all of Suhana's educational expenses.
Suhana excels in her studies and is dedicated to her education. After school, she attends tuition classes to strengthen her knowledge and skills. She is also a responsible and kind girl who assists her mother in the chores.
With aspirations of becoming a teacher, Suhana is determined to excel in her studies, believing that her hard work can change her family's circumstances. The family is immensely grateful for the support extended by Shanty Trust, which has allowed Suhana to pursue her dreams.
They are hopeful that, one day, Suhana will be able to support them financially, allowing them to live a life free from tension and worries. Suhana's innocence and determination shine through her goals, as she envisions a brighter future for herself and her mother.
