In April 2014, SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action), a Mumbai-based NGO working to improve the health of women and children in the city’s informal settlements, joined hands with Poor-Box Productions and the Make-A-Difference Foundation to showcase the Hindi version of the play — Kissa Yoni Ka — for the people living in Dharavi. Till date, nine shows of the play have been held for the men and women staying in the slums of Dharavi and today, they are all set for a grand finale.
