Snehibhavan is a rurally located home for tribal and dalit girls in the Kottayam district of Kerala. Most of the girls in residence are the children of unwed mothers from colonies in the nearby Idukki District who have been abandoned or found in situations where they were vulnerable to abuse. Snehibhavan is an initiative to protect, look after, educate and empower these girls to face their challenging futures. The director, Sajini, and her husband, Mathews, are dalit activists promoting education and cultural awareness as they work for the rights of the dalit and tribal women and children in their region.
