Join Hands to help with Thuvakkam
With Covid’s second wave hitting us hard, it is high time not to repeat the mistakes done during the first wave. It is time to think about the stranded and vulnerable communities, their physical and mental health. But there should always be a starting point for everyone to assemble and run forward towards the goal. Thuvakkam decided to be the starting point (Covid19 Response Fund) for this initiative and to bring people together.
The Focus:
Thuvakkam has an Emergency Response Team created for systematic handling of the initiative. Also, nothing like a bit of social media awareness, Thuvakkam makes sure to post regular updates about the program on their social media handles. The fundings that Thuvakkam receives is accumulated and distributed for various purposes like
Mental Wellness of Covid affected patients and their families.
Aid in need, i.e., it is not just the people getting affected but also primary health centres, so equipment necessary for the treatment of Covid concerns is being provided. Blood and Plasma donation campaign is also being conducted as an add-on.
