Kashewadi is a densely populated area with limited resources, high unemployment, and overcrowded living conditions. Home to a largely young population, the community faces deep-rooted gender norms—boys are often seen outside while girls remain confined to homes.
With few economic opportunities, youth face pressure to earn early, often turning to unsafe or unstable paths. Poor infrastructure, waste management, and lack of public spaces worsen daily life.
Yet, Kashewadi’s strength lies in its tight-knit community, entrepreneurial spirit, and resilience. Despite the challenges, residents support each other with creativity and determination.
