The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic hit us hard in so many ways. With citizens coming together to help in any way possible across social media platforms, it’s also important that we pitch in to help those in need, those who need to procure oxygen and medicines, and to support those in need.
We’ve curated a list (by no means exhaustive) that will be updated as frequently as possible, to include more such donation drives.
- These two documents have compiled various ongoing fundraisers related to COVID-19 distress and covers categories such as food, relief for migrant workers, Adivasi communities, specific individuals, as well as mental health for frontline workers and more.
- This website has donation links to initiatives by organisations such as Hemkunt Foundation, GiveIndia, Feeding From Far, Khaana Chahiye, and more.
- Migrant Workers Solidarity Network – collecting funds to support relief and workers rights.
- Here is a link to an organisation working to support migrant workers and trans folk in North Bengal.
- This website enables the user to donate to a specific program/resource including vulnerable groups such as the elderly, cab drivers, delivery partners, as well as to national/state funds.
- Khalsa Aid – providing free oxygen concentrators to covid patients at home.
- Link to donate to ASHWINI – an organisation building medical infrastructure.
- An initiative to donate ration kits to the marginalised in Mumbai
- This website is for anyone looking to donate to local organisations working with trans persons, sex workers, dalit communities, widows, elderly waste pickers, and more.
One year later, Mumbai's most vulnerable face the prospect of starvation yet again.
We're raising funds to deliver 5000 emergency ration kits to communities that are left out of government relief. Please, please donate if you can.
