Age 11

Raup lives with his large family of 8 in the slum area of Bhiwandi. His father borrowed money to start a business in their village, but it didn't do well, and now he is trying to pay off his business debts, so they moved closer to the big city for work opportunities.

Raup's mother stays home and cares for the household. Raup's father works on a loom and earns around $110 a month. His father is the sole breadwinner of the house.

Raup attended school when he was in the village and completed 5th grade. Now enrolled at Udaan, he is a brilliant student. His dream is to become a doctor in the future.
