Mumbai: Mumbai: Mumbai does have a heart.
A week after TII published a series of stories of children from families who need that are influenced by Pandemic Covid-19, a number of organizations and individuals have advanced to make their lives easier.
While some individuals released their wallets, with motorists that their identity was not revealed, some organizations had run out to ensure that children did not stop their online school.
Project Mumbai, city-based non-profit, will create deposits remain in the name of each of the six children whose stories are reported in Toi, with keys until they are 18 years old, the founder and Chief Executive Officer Shishir Joshi.
They will also be given a cellphone or tab, where need to exist, with internet data and the school curriculum uploaded.
NGO, which pocketed the UN award for its Covid assistance work, played a catalyst in its mission to help in need, especially children, by asking for help from residents.
“Children from the family who need is the worst hit in this age.
Nearly 12,000 children throughout Maharashtra themselves have lost at least one parent.
Of these, more than 400 loses both parents,” Joshi said, added that the overall situation had an impact In a child too.
Give Lindia has launched a fundraising called ‘team for humanity’ to help bring donations for families who have lost breadwinners.
The fundraising event, which stretches for six months, has individuals and celebrities that redeem the cause.
“The family shown in Toi will be offered a one-time number of Rs 30,000,” said a spokesman to berindia, adding donors to get online details.
Dharavi himself has thousands of children who want to go to school.
To help them take their books again, Center for Transforming India has launched an initiative entitled ‘School on Tab’ to provide 1,000 digital kits with connectivity.
Earlier this month, the first batch of 50 children was given the tabs of each, said Sapna Kar, Project Advisor for the initiative aimed at bridging Digital Divide for children living in slums.
“100 other children will be given a tab in the next batch.
Every child gets a tab with 1GB of storage,” Kar said, adding that 700 other children still needed a tab.
“The tab is completely not conducive to playing games so that the gadget is used for the intended school purpose.” Mumbai seems to gather to ensure that the pandemic does not encourage children into ‘dropout’ statistical characters or, worse, the child’s dark prison.
