PLEASE EXTEND YOUR HELP: The last couple of weeks has taught us invaluable lessons regarding the unpredictability and fragility of life. @ayushmannk and I have been supporting an NGO, @shaktifoundationindia who have undertaken varied social initiatives for the socially and financially vulnerable. One of the significant project undertaken by Shakti Foundation, is @gulmeher_delhi, a social entrepreneurship initiative of women waste-pickers from Ghazipur – one of Delhi’s oldest landfills. It is aimed at providing alternative income generation so that the women could get off the landfill and earn their livelihood with dignity. The last 7 years saw these women being trained and transformed into artisans, selling products and attaining financial independence as well as rebuilding the lives of their families. The recent turn of events threatens to undo all that has been thus far achieved and perhaps even push them back to the conditions they have come out of. We would like to reach out to you for financial assistance to sustain this strata of economically vulnerable in the form of donations as below: · Wages for 3 months of 50 women: Rs.9 Lakhs · Soap & Food for families for one month: @ Rs. 1000 per family per month (Their target is to reach 25000 families in the next month) · Cloth masks-manufacture of 10,000 masks to be distributed free of cost to the most exposed frontline workers fighting COVID 19: Rs. 3 Lakhs They say that “Hard times don’t create heroes. It is during the hard times when the ‘hero’ within us is revealed.” I’d appreciate you being our real life superhero and helping save this initiative.
