“I still have to go to job at Male’. I have to go to 7:30, so that means I have to leave home at 6:30. Children will remain home at that time with their grand parents. All are not affordable to have a maid at their houses. How can an old woman walk that distance with children? Then look at the situation of Hulhumale’. How can I leave my children alone here? and I can’t afford to send them by taxi. Does not the government have to think about it?” a mother who lives in Hulhumale’ said.
