About Abhishek Ahirwal
Abhishek lives with his parents, one brother, and two sisters in a small mud hut in a rural village in Central India. The climate in this village is hot and humid with periods of heavy monsoon rains in the summer months. The village is located near a river. The family uses wood and cow-pies as fuel to cook their meals. The water well the family uses is about 100 meters from their home.
Abhishek helps with gardening, tending livestock, and household chores such as gathering firewood, making and drying cow pies in the sun, and fetching water in buckets from the well for his mom to use for her cooking and cleaning. His parents are low-wage laborers which means each day they go out looking for manual work to earn a living for their family. Abhishek wants to become a lawyer one day. He enjoys singing and reading along with playing cricket with his friends. His favorite foods are dal (lentils), rice, chicken, and chapatti (an Indian flatbread).
Abhishek comes from a Christian family, they pray together daily. Abhishek needs your help and support to provide for his school fees, uniform, books, school bag, and other needs.
Thank you for helping provide Hope, Dignity, and a Future to Abhishek!
