Hyderabad:
Ramu and Shekhar, brothers and teenagers, who live in a tiny village in Andhra Pradesh's Mahabubnagar district, are like several others in the state who are struggling to repay debts. Their father, a farmer, hung himself because he could not repay what he had borrowed from local moneylenders.
Their story led to NDTV viewers and ndtv.com users donating generously, by sending cheques that added up to 1.2 lakhs. Thanks to the donations they received, the brothers were able to stay in school. But they are now learning the ropes on a construction site, in order to repay the debt.
If you would like to make a donation to this family, here are the details for the same.
