The second wave of coronavirus pandemic has brought an unprecedented healthcare crisis, with millions of people affected all over the country. The poor and the most vulnerable are the worst hit, particularly in states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Countless families are forced to watch their loved ones suffer because they cannot afford the exorbitant costs of basic medical care, diagnostics and treatment. Even meeting basic needs is a serious challenge for many of the impoverished households.
The ‘Give without Borders’ initiative of Grameen Foundation for Social Impact supports the needy and most vulnerable sections of the society with cash transfer directly into the bank accounts of the identified beneficiaries. The funds will help these families meet the costs of COVID-19 diagnostics, treatment and medication. GFSI aims to raise Rs. 5 Crore (INR 50,000,000) to directly support 10,000 poor families in the states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
How Grameen will make a difference ?
We believe that every person, particularly the poor and vulnerable, must have access to medical care and money should not stand in the way of a timely COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment. To make this vision a success, our last mile network of Grameen Mittras work in the local communities to identify the most vulnerable households, leveraging their local intelligence and power of our digital platform Grameen4Giving based on an algorithm that combines multiple social, demographic and economic indicators of vulnerability.
The immediate impact of the ‘Give without Borders’ initiative is to identify the most vulnerable households, and giving cash directly in their hands to help them meet medical care expenses.

Our ‘Give without Borders’ journey so far
