Nyla MasoodSocial Activist (Uttar Pradesh, India) 2018
NYLA MASOOD – She is a costume designer in the Hindi film industry, known for her work on films like “Hawa Hawai” and “Stanley Ka Dabba” directed by Amol Gupte. Her journey took a meaningful turn when she came into contact with underprivileged slum children during these projects. This encounter sparked a deep sense of responsibility in her, leading her to establish the NGO “Dhai Akshar.”
“Dhai Akshar” aims to provide underprivileged children with a space where they can engage in recreational activities and learn practical life skills. Many of these children lack access to libraries or toys at home, making this initiative even more crucial in giving them a semblance of a normal childhood. The NGO’s recreational learning center offers a safe and productive environment for children to spend their time, fostering their holistic development and helping them reclaim their rightful childhoods.
