Umair has four brothers and sisters. Due to his father’s addiction, he had to leave school, because instead of helping his children, he was selling the household things to fulfill his own expenses. His mother was working as housemaid and her income was not sufficient to bear all the expenses.
So she decided to take away her children from school. But Umair was keen to get education. One of staff of school came to know his problem and CLARA decided to support this child to continue his education. Now he is regularly attending school. His mother is also happy at the step taken by CLARA.
