We've been feeling helpless as the covid situation in India has spiraled into an unimaginable nightmare. Shortages of oxygen machines, medicine and hospital beds coupled with the super-spreadable mutant variation of the virus quickly overran India's healthcare system, and it's been especially bad in the densely-populated New Delhi area where our artisan partners are located.
Many of our partners have reached out to ask how they can help, so we wanted to provide a list of organizations set up to provide the assistance they are desperate for right now: ventilators, oxygen, medicine, vaccines, and programs to increase capacity at clinics and hospitals. If you are in a position to donate or would like to share these links with your community, it would be greatly appreciated!
ORGANIZATIONS TO DONATE TO:
+ UNICEF
+ Association for India's Development
