Poonam is a mother to five children: Kashish, Mahi, Nikhil, Bulbul, and Rohan. Four of the siblings study at Project Help India's Bijnor Centre and are doing well in their studies. Despite their success, Poonam and her family live in a very small room that basically has no roof and is open to the elements. During the heavy rains of the Monsoon season, their room and kitchen flood, causing immense problems for the family.
Nevertheless, Poonam and her husband remain positive and resilient. They go to their work early in the morning and return late in the evening, working hard to provide for their family. Their only hope is that their children can become successful and happy through education. Poonam wants to ensure that her children don't have to experience the same struggles she has and can live a better life.
