About Ritika Ahirwal
Ritika Ahirwal lives with her parents, grandmother, one brother, and one sister in a brick and concrete house in a small village in Central India. The climate in this village is hot and dry with periods of heavy monsoon rains in the summer months. The village is located near a river. The family uses wood and propane as fuel to cook their meals. The water well the family uses is 100 meters from their home.
Ritika helps with gardening, tending livestock, cooking meals, and other chores such as gathering firewood and fetching water in buckets from the well every morning and night. Her father is a laborer, which means each day he goes out looking for manual labor to earn an income for his family, while her mother is a homemaker. Ritika wants to become a nurse one day. She enjoys dancing, singing, and reading. She also enjoys playing soccer and volleyball. Her favorite foods are dal (lentils), rice, vegetables, and chicken.
Please pray for Ritika as she comes from a Hindu family with no believers. Ritika needs your help and support to provide for her school fees, uniform, books, school bag, and other needs.
Thank you for helping provide Hope, Dignity, and a Future to Ritika!
