Age 11

Sabana lives in Bhiwandi, India with her parents, 5 sisters, and 1 brother.
Frequent relocations have hindered her educational journey, limiting her to completing just the 1st grade. Sabana’s father works in a toy manufacturing company near Bhiwandi earning a monthly salary of $145 and her mother is a homemaker caring for their large family. Sabana’s sisters are in poor health and on medication. It is difficult for her father to manage the medical expenses and care for the family’s financial needs.

Sabana’s goal is to complete school and work to help support her family.
