Homebody to video maker
Hyderabad: When Reshma failed to clear her SSC despite many attempts, her father, an auto-driver thought it fit to keep her at home. The only thing her father allowed her to do was to cut betel nuts and help her mother in completing embroidery work. The story of Haleema, daughter of another auto-driver is no different. Being at home all day had left them completely demoralized, depressed and shy.
The story of hundreds of such adolescent girls was also no different until Mahita, an NGO that works in the slums of Old City area of Hyderabad hit upon an idea of providing alternative skills to such girls. It held discussions with parents of several such girls who reluctantly agreed to Mahita's proposal. They were to be taught how to produce video.
