Girls and women suffer the most in a slum, as they often have no resources and are not aware of their rights, i wanted to teach the girls how to use technology to get ahead.

They see so much every day - domestic violence, drug abuse, child abuse, poverty. Their parents are taxi drivers and domestic workers, and these kids are usually the first in the family to go to school, but every family has at least one smartphone, and that's why I thought of using technology. Technology is such a leveller, and it gives them such confidence.

It's frugal innovation at its best, with the right resources and mentoring, they can do so much more. And these can be applied in slums, in cities everywhere.
