“This is where I can realize my dream” - Paulig helps bring kids back to school in India
This is Madhu. He wants to become a teacher.
Madhu is 10 years old and lives with his mother and older brother in Kolagutla in Andra Pradesh, India. His father passed away when Madhu was only 4 years old, and his mother was left as sole provider for the family.
When the pandemic hit, Madhu’s mother lost her job. This meant that the very low income, barely sufficient to meet the family’s needs, was changed into zero. Hunger, stress and growing debts were the consequences, just as for millions of other families. And Madhu dropped out of school to help provide for the family.
