Anu is 15 years old and first generation from her family who got a chance to go to school. She lives in the Nayanagar, Dharavi slum neighborhood, Mahim, Mumbai. This neighborhood is one of the most notorious pocket of the slum. She lost her father in 2013 in a road accident. She lives with her mother who works as a domestic helper. There are many girls in this neighborhood who are facing a lot of hardship.

Many girls from this neighborhood were first introduced to computers in 2014 through Dharavi Diary: A Slum Innovation Project. They started to participate in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) Learning Program. They started to learn computer science and eventually started coding to make mobile application to solve community problems. The girls participated in Technovation Challenge, where they made mobile applications and engaged the community to how to use tech to address slum problems, like sexual and domestic violence, child abuse, child labour, women security etc.

Anu and her friends have been reaching out to women's groups in the slum community to how to use mobile application and technology to solve community problems. They were on a path to dramatically change their neighborhood through technology and make a better lives for themselves.

A fire on 4th January, 2016 in the slum community has interrupted their progress. Fifty houses were burnt down. These girls lost their clothes, food grains, utensils, bed, blankets, books, phones, tablets, laptops, technology items etc. This has badly affected their health, studies, self confidence and self esteem. They have to start from scratch.
