Through their students, many of whom stay in the hutments at Malwani, it managed to give ration to at least 910 families; intends to do so till the lockdown ends

A school has come to the rescue of the slum dwellers in Malwani, Malad during the lockdown. The slum in Malwani is even more economically back ward than Dharavi. Most families here earn their income from daily wage activities like plumbing, carpentry, labour etc and some are rickshaw drivers. Like thousands of other daily wage workers,they are out of jobs and do not have money for food due to the lockdown.
But due to the local Holy Mother English School, they won't go hungry. The school authorities realised that at least 1,250 of their students stayed in the slum. They felt they could reach out to 910 families of these students in the slum using the schools' connections, contacts, and goodwill to connect with their partners, well-wishers and supporters to arrange ration.
