A purple speech-bubble with a quote from Mahadevaprasad, sibling carer from India that reads: “My elder sister has cerebral palsy. I am very attached to her. I feel happier caring for her than going to school. I feel caring for my sister is more important than going to school.”

Sometimes, being a sibling means being a carer.

It can mean growing up faster than you should, taking on responsibilities far beyond your age & putting someone else’s needs before your own.

For many #SiblingCarers like Mahadevaprasad, this is what their role looks like.
