¡°Mohammad Mahboob Malik, a tea seller from Kanpur takes care of education for 40 children. He has a small tea shop and spends 80% of his income on the education of these children. What an inspiration!¡± he wrote.
Malik runs a school for underprivileged children in the Sharda Nagar area of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, reports NDTV. He provides free education to the kids and sponsors their uniforms, books, and stationery as well.
The school, which he opened back in 2015, provides free education to about 40 children and also sponsors their uniforms, stationery, books etc.
According to reports, Malik spent his childhood in extreme poverty and could only study till high school, so he decided to help others get education free of cost.
Indiatimes
Apart from Malik, there are others like 20-year-old Wali Rahmani, who is a father to 23 kids who were not fortunate enough to be blessed with their parents' love.
While speaking to Indiatimes he said, ¡°In the whole process of raising my voice against all the injustice in the society, I felt that I was alone in this whole country. I realised that the kids of my age (class 12th) were busy partying but I was motivated that I want to do something for the society."
Rahmani also told Indiatimes that he first adopted 3 kids, and in just a span of 1 year there were 23 kids in the orphanage. Out of the 23, 11 kids are orphans and 12 are less fortunate with no roof over their head - until Umeed took them in.
Another man named Rajesh has been teaching 300 underprivileged children under the metro bridge near the Yamuna riverbank in Delhi.
Named ¡®The Free School Under the Bridge', the school runs in two shifts, one from 9-11 am for 120 boys, and the second, from 2-4:30 pm for 180 girls. The school also has seven teachers who volunteer to teach the students aged between four to fourteen years, in their free time.
