COVID-19 VACCINATION DRIVE

Since most of slum populations live below the poverty line, education about the Government awareness programs and partnering with the local hospitals for free vaccination drive will help arrest the spread of Covid-19 in most vulnerable communities in Mumbai. Most of those residing in slums are prone to various diseases due to unhygienic surroundings and hence providing these exposed families with free food, medical & hygiene supplies will provide them a much-needed defence from Covid-19 and other harmful epidemics.
