Roshani's mother has never been to school, nor has she ever used a computer, but that is something her 17-year-old daughter is helping to remedy. The girl from Dharavi, one of Asia's largest slums, in Mumbai, has invented a mobile application that helps her mother learn English, math and even seek medical advice from a nearby doctor.
"Many girls in my community would get married while they were in school and couldn't continue their education, but my mom doesn't even mention marriage now, after seeing me successfully invent things at the center," said Mahek Shaikh.
There's a cool program called Technovations in the States where people can volunteer their time to teach girls to create and pitch Mobile apps. Love seeing programs like this one.
