Nilam Chauhan

Age:15

Address: Ram Pir No Teckro, Slum

Spending even a small amount of time with Nilam, it is immediately apparent that she is quite the ‘don’ of the Earn n Learn kids. She is naturally very inquisitive and always wants to know what is going on. She has 2 sisters and 2 brothers, and they live with their Parents in the local slum. Her Mother works as a cook for the local Bal mandir (preschool) around the city and her father is unexplainably unemployed, this leaves their family in quite a financial crunch and this is why Nilam and her 2 brothers are part of the Earn N’ Learn Program. This helps to provide for their family and enables the children to attend school, which is Nilam’s favorite part of the day. She enjoys her studies and values the opportunity that she gets to attend school. She likes to have fun playing Raquette Ball and Tip with her friends. Nilam’s bossy qualities are actually a charm in her personality and she is always entertaining to be around.
