Highlights Of #HungerFreeIndia Telethon: The Together With Children Initiative Aims To Support Millions Who Face Hunger During Coronavirus Outbreak

NDTV and World Vision India, a non-profit organisation, have joined hands to support millions of children and their families across India who 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. Join the campaign and help us raise funds to reach out to thousands of families with immediate relief assistance and long-term recovery and rehabilitation programmes.

- India is going through a challenging time and the migrant population has been deeply impacted because of the pandemic and it is important to support them. As a bank that has been serving for about 100 years is, it is our duty to make efforts to support those in need. Every drop counts and every effort is important to support the community we live in.

- Each year, the malnutrition related diseases are going up and the pandemic will make it only worse. Our partnership with World Vision is to provide nutrition to about 25,000 people.

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.
