Helping hands for the people at risk

Over the last few days we have been witnessing some of the worst impacts of the virus across Mumbai and the entire nation, such as stadiums full of hospital beds for Covid 19 affected patients, hotels being converted into isolation centres. The saddest part was to witness the Government schools being converted into quarantine centres.

Currently, Mumbai Smiles Foundation preschools are closed but the food distribution is regularly happening across these centres. CCheda Nagar, one of the most vulnerable areas and where we have our two preschools is also suffering and facing new challenges every day. There are some families in this community who have Covid 19 patients but cannot isolate themselves for having tiny houses. There are some newly born babies and their mothers who are at risk.

We are grateful for kind hearted people in the city who recently donated us portable and reusable beds made by corrugated boxes. We plan to put them to create emergency isolation centres if needed in the communities where we run our projects. We have received 14 beds made of corrugated boxes and have capacity to carry 250 kg weight are set in our Ccheda Nagar preschool.

We also take this opportunity to thank Ridhi Koshla who donated clothes, toys and educational material, Khetan Corru Case Pvt. Ltd & Ashoka polyprints who donated us these very useful beds to help our beneficiaries in this difficult situation and You can Free Us NGO who donated us handmade cotton masks. Special thanks to Nandini Singh for making all this possible for us.

And last but not least, our kind donors who are always standing with us through thick and thin.

We really thank you all for your support.
