Nazma: Age: 7 years old: Nazma is very good at her studies and enjoys school. Like her brother, Shanu, she sometimes causes trouble at school and gets her clothes dirty. Though she doesn’t have a favorite food, she will eat anything and as much of it as she can. Nazma was born into a Muslim family in the Delhi slums. Though her parents live together, her father coerces her mother to work as a prostitute. He says he will leave his wife if she stops, so she has been “working” like this for four years. However, Nazma’s father, who is almost forty years old, has also married another girl—who is nineteen. Nazma’s father has a government job and is addicted to alcohol and gambling. He has abused her brother, Shanu, physically, and makes drunken phone calls to Asha House, threatening to withdraw Nazma and her sisters so they can work as prostitutes as well. Nazma lives at Asha House with her brother, Shanu, and two sisters, Heena, and Rukshana. Prayer Request: For Nazma’s mother and family. Asha is worried that their mother will take them and leave Delhi in attempt to avoid her husband’s abuse and threats to subject his daughters to prostitution.
