Rubina

Place Bhiwandi, Mumbai

Age 16

Rubina lives in the slum community of Bhiwandi with her parents, 3 older brothers, older sister, and younger brother. Rubina's mother works as a seamstress and earns less than $2 daily. Rubina's father works as a loom worker in a factory 3 to 4 days a week and earns barely $6 a day.

Her 18-year-old brother works at a dyeing machine company to support the family. Rubina came to the Udaan center herself to ask for admission and said she wanted to learn. She dreams of becoming a successful doctor so she can help support her family and also treat patients who are sick. Rubina works hard, but she needs a sponsor to support her education.
