Akshada is a young girl from a slum in Maharashtra. Her mother works as a maid and her father is a gardener. They were both never able to earn enough money to support their family of five.

Akshada felt sad when she saw her classmates get new school bags and go for picnics but she knew that her parents could not afford those luxuries.

She kept attending school but became afraid when her teachers started to remind her to pay the school fees. She started to worry if being the oldest child, she might have to stop going to school.
A social worker who knew her story brought her case to The Savior. Akshaya has been studying under the The Savior sponsorship program ever since. She is now 15 years old and in Class 10.
