Highlights Of The #HelpingHands Telethon: An Initiative To Set-Up COVID Centres For Children And Vaccinate People In Rural India
New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) and ChildFund present India's Helping Hands, supported by WhatsApp. The campaign aims to raise funds to set-up child-friendly COVID centres and run vaccination drives in vulnerable districts of rural India. These funds will also be used to protect the people of rural India from the severity of the third wave and in the long term, will help skill people who have lost jobs due to the pandemic and make them self-sufficient once more.
Here are the highlights of the #HelpingHands telethon:
Sonali Fabiani, Founder, @Altry_GiftsThatMatter Contributes Rs. 9 Lakh To India's #HelpingHands Campaign
I started an NGO called Altry_GiftsThatMatter and through that we want people to gift impact. For example, if you are gifting a bouquet, so instead of it, you will be providing meals to 100 people. I realised very early on how bad COVID-19 is going to hit. We provided COVID relief in whatever way we could- whether through a fundraiser or verifying COVID leads, especially during this wave we had to verify the oxygen provider, where were beds available, and others. While the situation kept changing, one thing that was constant was the need for help.
