Dia backs a cause with a smile
Of the many basic rights that children living on Mumbai's streets are deprived of, not having an Aadhaar card now counts as one among them. In an effort to change that, an enrolment camp was organised in Mumbai Central by the non-profit, Save the Children (STC), in collaboration with Mumbai City Collector office, Hamara Foundation and Salaam Balak Trust yesterday in a school in Mumbai Central.

The camp, which was held in the presence of STC ambassador and actor Dia Mirza, issued the document to 106 street kids from the neighbourhood.. Mirza shared that 79 per cent of street kids live without a legal identity, which denies them access to healthcare and education. "The idea behind this initiative of getting Aadhaar cards issued for these children is that they have an identity proof in unforeseen conditions," she explained. With this sorted out, we hope it offers a ray on sunshine to these children.
