COVID-19 Relief
Combating COVID-19 Pandemic
With the rise in Covid 19 cases in Maharashtra, it was very important to reach out to vulnerable families to provide immediate relief and create positive awareness on improving hygiene practices, dispelling myths around Covid 19 and combating vaccine hesitancy. With the database of community members and the rapport created with the communities for more than half a decade allowed us to get in contact with communities and spread positive awareness on the situation of Covid 19. Along with distribution of essentials such as hygiene kits and food grains, we also conducted Vaccination drives in different cities of Maharashtra with support from ULBs of Pune, PCMC, Kolhapur, Thane and Navi Mumbai. The pandemic also inspired us to create a network of empowered volunteers for better community outreach.
