Bedridden umbrella maker in Kerala hit by pandemic
  • 3 years ago
An umbrella maker Haris in Kozhikode's Perambra, who is bedridden for past 23 years due to an accident, continues to work in hardship due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Recently, volunteers from an organisation extended helping hands to get him orders via WhatsApp. “The accident happened 23 yrs ago. I learnt umbrella-making later. Now it's been 10 years since I started selling umbrellas. During Corona time, I couldn't sell as usual. Now it's sold via some WhatsApp groups. New Life Charitable Trust helped with this. It's my only income,” said Haris.
