Ravi Rai Manas is a Singapore-born humanitarian, social reformer, and founder of Children of Mother Earth (COME), a non-profit organization dedicated to the education, rehabilitation, and empowerment of underprivileged children in India. Trained as a civil engineer, he chose to leave behind a promising professional career to follow a deeper calling of service. For the past 28 years, he has lived and worked alongside children from railway platforms, slums, and remote villages, sharing their struggles, hopes, and dreams. Choosing a life of complete dedication, he remained unmarried so that he could devote himself fully to the welfare of vulnerable children. Through compassion, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment, Ravi has helped thousands of children gain access to education, dignity, and opportunity. Slum Gods is a tribute to the extraordinary courage, resilience, and wisdom he discovered among the poorest of the poor.
