Dear Friends & Family,
Over the past few months, India has been ravaged by two devastating waves of the COVID-19 virus and is now bracing for the onset of a third wave. We need your help.
- The rising death rate and lack of resources have already led the healthcare and post-mortem systems in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities in India to the edge of collapse.
- COVID-19’s effects extend beyond documented cases. Most recorded cases remain focused around urban civilians, who have better testing facilities and essential supplies available to them.
- By focusing on marginalized communities Barefoot College International is preventing the same crisis happening in cities from occurring in villages.
Here is how Barefoot College International is working on the ground to help rural communities:
- Awareness and Dissemination of information on COVID-19
- Support in Vaccine Registration
- Distribution of Safety and Monitoring Kits
- Tele-Consultation
- Vaccine Drive Mobilization
We need your urgent support to stop this situation from spreading to the rural communities and further crippling India. If you are able, we ask that you consider donating to this work. India needs your help and every dollar makes a difference:
