Producers Ronnie and Zarina Screwvala have offered support to 12 women who lost their husbands to COVID-19, have no means of livelihood and many dependents to feed. They have picked up costs of accommodation, ration, children’s education and electricity for the 12 widows for six months. They plan to support 100 more such widows in the coming days.
Ronnie said, “Key is not charity, but to get them back on their feet in these six months and then hold the parent’s hand into employment and the children through school and college.” Other donors have also come to the rescue of such widows.
