Surajdev Parahiya (name changed), a member of the vulnerable Parahiya tribe in Jharkhand, India, is currently a Class X student. He has achieved first position in his class, excelling in both academics and extracurricular activities. Remarkably, he is the first member of his tribe to learn and speak English. Surajdev’s educational journey began only three years ago, as his tribe had no access to proper schooling. Historically, the Parahiya tribe relied on hunting and gathering, with no land ownership or stable income for generations. Despite these challenges, Surajdev worked diligently to become a top-performing student in his class. With support from Mother’s Care over the past two years, he has been able to access uniforms, books, and stationery essential for his studies. Surajdev is determined to pursue higher education and aspires to become a civil officer. He shares, “Without Mother’s Care support, I wouldn’t have had the resources for my studies. On behalf of my parents, I express my heartfelt gratitude to Mother’s Care, BREAD, and the donors.
