The women, who belong to the Ahmednagar district in the western part of the state, collected the money from their meagre savings and survived on just one meal a day to put the funds together, according to a report. They handed the donation to the district collector, with the help of the NGO Snehalaya, which focuses on AIDS and human trafficking.
