The famed dabbawalas of Mumbai will begin a seven day-drive to deliver soaps and handwash to around 1,00,000 people from next week, in a bid to promote hygienic practices among the residents.

The dabbawalas, who deliver around two lakh lunches to office-goers everyday, have associated with VVF India under a drive where they will distribute handwash to people and promote the simple hygiene measure. The drive is a part of VVR India's initiative to help Mumbaikars build healthy habits.
