As desperation prevails among the disadvantaged communities, every single contribution counts. In our own bit to stand by the countrymen, Pranitha Foundation together with Efforts For Good and The Logical Indian Community has initiated #HelpTheHelpingHands campaign to raise funds for the daily wagers. In its first quarter, the Foundation will be taking care of 500 families for the next three weeks. Thereby, every little contribution received through this initiative will ensure that every household is stocked up on essential items.

A number of people from the vulnerable communities have existing medical conditions which is why they are required to abide by a prescribed diet and certain medicines to be taken consistently. In addition, there are pregnant women who also require special attention with respect to medicine and food. While we fight the coronavirus, we cannot afford to overlook the many challenges that are in our way to provide equitable sustenance to all. Therefore, the funds collected will be utilized by these families to buy medical supplies and emergency food items for all people on special diets including babies. A small effort from each of us can ensure that every home, besides all things else, is also able to stabilize its finances during the lockdown period.

COVID 19 may have forced us into social distancing but social solidarity still prevails. The unprecedented support from our community members can go a long way to nurture this sense of solidarity and further the cause of humanity. Like they say in beautiful books, “This too shall pass.”
