Our life is everyone’s priority now but we all know that due to the lockdown in all over India daily wages workers, unorganized labours, hawkers are going through a crucial situation of financial loss and unemployment from almost one year which leads them to face a difficult situation to fulfill basic needs and safety hygiene measures.
As our Prime Minister of India Hon.Narendra Modi already insisted to all organizations and people that, now it's everyone’s priority to take care of their family and provide them all the necessary healthcare facilities with the provision of basic needs of the people.
You all are familiar with Shubhamkaroti Foundation and Desai Foundation Trust and its contribution towards society. Providing health care facilities is our mission. We believe that NO person, no matter what their circumstances, should ever have to worry about their basic health needs and it is the necessity of the world now. As an initiative to support the women and girls to maintain their hygiene in these economic crises period, we has already been started a campaign ‘Periods Don’t Stop in LOCKDOWN’ from last year. But as the second wave of COVID-19 affected more people of India we extended this support campaign to health check-up programs, Lab tests like D-Dimer, CRP, CBC and CT Scan, transportation facility to the patients of rural and remote area population, masks for the frontline workers, daily food distribution program for the needy and quarantine people and other support facilities which are essential in this pandemic.
