In Southern India, many women face early marriage. Paadhai provides shelter to children and adolescents who are trying to escape this fate. Twenty year old Amulpriya’s mother was married at an early age; now she wants her daughter to follow the same path.
Determined to get an education, Amulpriya is supported by Paadhai . This is her story but it's also the story of numerous other women desperate to forge a life of their own Paadhai is 100% funded from outside India.
