Niranjani

“My husband left us after the baby was born and I had to keep her in this shed without a fan or electricity.”

Niranjini, 27, lives with her two daughters in a small shed. Her husband left them, and her mother helps with food. She plans to start work soon, manages debts and dreams of building a simple two-room home while making sure her children go to school and learn like other kids.
