The covid-19 pandemic has impacted everyone directly or indirectly around the world. Many have lost their jobs during this pandemic. 

A 14-year-old boy from Mumbai, Subhan' mother is also oneof those who lost her job during the coronavirus induced lockdown. To support the family Subhan sells tea after his mother's earnings stopped, amid COVID-19 pandemic. She worked as a school bus attendant. He says, "My father died 12 years ago. My sisters study via online classes, I'll resume mine after schools reopen."

"My mother is a school bus attendant but schools are closed so we're facing financial crunch. I make tea at a shop in Bhendi Bazaar & sell it in Nagpada, Bhendi Bazaar & other areas. I don't have a shop. I earn Rs 300-400 in a day. I give it to my mother and save a little," says Subhan.
