So, to reflect on and celebrate the achievements of the past year, here are 10 of Give’s best tweets in 2020.

In April 2020, 2.9 million children in India missed their first dose of the measles vaccine due to the lockdown.
Like measles, many other deadly illnesses can infect, maim, and even kill children, that are easily preventable with timely immunisations. Underprivileged children in India are in danger of contracting such lethal diseases because the pandemic has disrupted their immunisation schedules. By donating just ₹1,000, you can provide a child with a yearly cycle of prescribed vaccines. Donate now to help CRY achieve its goal of immunising more than 40,000 children in the next few months.

India’s farmers keep the nation up and running, from cultivating our daily meals to constituting a major chunk of our economy. However, our farmers’ circumstances are far from normal, with many struggling to provide necessities for themselves and their families as mentioned in this tweet. Through Give, support Swades Foundation’s expansive plan to widen farmers’ earning capacity. Your donation will help 29,303 households in rural India become self-reliant by increasing household income, enabling livelihood opportunities, and providing scholarships.
