Here are easy steps to use your social connections and make an impact
COVID-19 and the lockdown have upended India unimaginably. We are the privileged few in a country where a large portion of the population struggles to get two square meals a day. And the situation has become even more extreme now. Unless you have been living under a rock, you would have come across innumerable stories of heartbreaking hardship.
Migrant labourers, other daily wage earners, street vendors, domestic helpers and nearly all workers in the informal sector have been hit the hardest. Due to the loss of their livelihood, every day is a struggle as they have no food or money to sustain themselves and their families. It has become a matter of survival as they suffer the collateral damage of this shutdown. Besides government efforts, social workers and non-profits are working tirelessly at the forefront to reach such vulnerable groups with food and health essentials.
We, at Give, have been working relentlessly with our NGO partners too, to raise funds and through them to reach out and help those in distress. In the time of a calamity of this magnitude, we urge you to join hands with us and help with relief work. There’s nothing better than making a difference in someone’s life. You can make a simple donation here.
Or, you can be an active part of our Coronavirus Fundraising in two simple ways:
1. Create a #LetsFightCoronaTogether campaign on our website
You can raise funds for Give or an NGO of your choice on our platform who is engaged in Covid relief work. You get to decide the fundraising amount and the campaign duration.

The amount raised through your campaign will be used to help poor communities get food, dry rations, hygiene kits, etc to secure themselves and their families. It will also be used to support healthcare workers including doctors and nurses with critical PPE kits containing masks, surgical gloves, gowns, medical aprons, disposable goggles, hand washing liquid soap bottles, face-shield, etc.
To make sure every rupee you give will benefit those most in need we are bearing all payment gateway costs and passing on 100% of your donation to the beneficiaries.
Thank you for your support, your empathy and compassion.
