“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.

 

According to NDTV, Malik runs a school for underprivileged children in the Sharda Nagar area of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh which provides free education to about 40 children and also sponsors their uniforms, stationery, books etc. He now uses 80 per cent of the income generated through his tea stall to run a school with about 40 students.
