About The Campaign

Millions of children and their families across India continue to face hunger and inadequate nutrition caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. When a strong defence against the virus is good nutrition and strong immunity, thousands of vulnerable children and their parents are uncertain of their next meal.

World Vision India is closely working with the state governments and the district administration to provide people with basic essentials during this lockdown. So far we have distributed cooked meals to more than 200,000 people, provided rations to over 18,000 families, distributed over 324,000 masks and 12,446 personal protective equipment (PPEs) to health workers, among many other forms of assistance.

Join NDTV and World Vision India in raising the much needed funds we need to help us reach out to thousands of more families with immediate relief assistance and long-term recovery and rehabilitation programmes.
