An urgent call for employer-supported childcare

Sabra Kanwal was five months pregnant when she joined Interloop Limited, the textile manufacturing company. The daycare facility at work was a big draw. Knowing her son and eventually her daughter were in good hands gave her peace of mind, helping her to focus on her job.
