In the wake of the spread of the Coronavirus, Save The Children India has put together a relief kit of essential groceries, medical supplies and direct cash transfers. Athiya Shetty, who along with her parents — Suniel and Mana — is working relentlessly towards reaching out to as many children as possible, tells us that even as the country's total cases stand at an alarming number, she stands firm on protecting kids.
"We aim to reach a total of 7,500 families, across Mumbai, Pune and New Delhi. Ever since the lockdown, we have been campaigning to raise funds to provide relief to the urban poor," says Shetty, who has garnered support for those struggling to survive.
