They are also made use of by prominent meal suppliers in Mumbai where they ferry ready, cooked meals from central kitchens to the customers and back. "Tiffin" is an Anglo-Indian word, derived from obsolete English slang "tiffing" (to sip),[1] for a light lunch or afternoon snack, and sometimes, by extension, for the box it is carried in. For this reason, the dabbawalas are sometimes called tiffin wallahs.

Loans that change lives. Peepoople. Haiti On January 12 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and devastated the capital, Port-au-Prince. More than 200,000 people were killed, and more than 1.5 million residents were displaced. The government was disabled and infrastructure decimated. When the earthquake hit, it effectively destroyed water and sanitation systems near the epicentre. As a result, more than 1.5 million people were left without access to safe drinking water or toilets. Even before the earthquake, Haiti was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. 80% of the population lives under the poverty line and the water and sanitation facilities that were in place prior to the disaster were chronically under-developed. According to UNICEF and WHO, 28% of the population practices open defecation. Qarnot Computing. The Fun Theory.
