Molanbi and her husband Hussain were dependent on Mohammad, who had dropped out of school in Class 10 to earn money.

"My husband met with an accident a few years ago. He used to work as a driver to carry sand up and down from hills. One day, he fell off the lorry and hurt his lower back. Since then, he has not been able to work," she said.

Referring to herself, she said, "Since my operation, I am not able to move around much." She is frail, weak and repeatedly touches the part of her stomach which was operated on.

“Sometimes it still pains. I cannot move around fast or do anything at all. I have no means to earn money,” she adds.
