Ramesh and Premila own a small piece of land thanks to funds raised by Dust Project. They are currently living on this land in a home made of wooden panels, tin and sari cloth. When it rains the land is flooded - including inside the house - and often the wooden panels are lost in the winds and water. Although Ramesh works in a steel company part-time, and drives a trishaw on his off-days, he still frustratingly only earns enough to buy food for his family and no more. His wife Pramila works as a seamstress from their home, as well as in a stationary company, packing pens. Their combined income is only enough to cover their family’s food and daily living expenses. They have three children - Dileban (23), who has just started working in an IT company; Divya (20), who has finished a diploma in computer science and is looking into studying further, but currently working part time with her mother. Their youngest daughter Diyoni (8) is studying at Paalam School.
