Maharashtra Foundation donates Covid-19 relief funds to Dr. Ambedkar Sheti Vikas Va Sanshodhan Sanstha (ASVSS)
FCRA – 083780509
There are many full time social workers in Maharashtra, serving the poor and needy. Covid 19 has turned the whole world upside down. These social workers are on the forefront in this fight too. While this crisis continues without an end in sight, we need to take care of these workers and their families in their time of need.
ASVSS has identified 75 full time social activists in Maharashtra. They will be given financial assistance of Rs. 5000 per month for 3 months to help them through this crisis. With your help, Maharashtra Foundation will be able to serve these selfless individuals who give so much to society.
Maharashtra Foundation has donated US$ 14,000.
Maharashtra Foundation donates Covid-19 relief funds to Annapurna Mahila Mandal / Pariwar
FCRA – 083930412
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Maharashtra has been hit the hardest. We have selected Annapurna Parivar – a group of 6 NGOs that provide microcredit and other services like daycare in the slums of Mumbai and Pune. They have a well-established food distribution system to reach people in low income areas.
Annapurna has worked out a relief strategy that includes food packets at Rs. 1,000 per packet. These packets include grains, salt, oil, and masala and will last an average family for 15 days. The Maharashtra Foundation has funded 500 food packets, for a total of $6,765.
While this will help mitigate the short-term suffering in the area, the situation is dire, and they will need continued support.
As the world was looking forward to a new year, we were challenged by the most devastating pandemic of our times; Covid 19 caused by the novel coronavirus Sars -Cov-2.
This virus not only put our most vulnerable population at risk but it also challenged the overall support structure of our socioeconomic wellbeing.
Within the US, New York and New Jersey were the most affected states. The governments of both states were struggling to keep up with the spread of the disease and also ensuring that the affected patients received the care and attention they deserved. All frontline workers and health care providers were struggling to keep up with the pandemic.
Dedicated to social and economic causes, Maharashtra Foundation decided to raise funds through a Covid-19 relief drive in association with Bruhan Maharashtra Mandal (BMM). The board of MF also decided to donate $10,000 to the NYC Mayor’s emergency Relief Fund and $7,000 to NJ based Relief Fund.
As the demand for help is still very high in terms of funds, support to food banks and PPE, please continue to help to this cause.
