COVID-19: Cosmo Foundation lends a helping hand to the underprivileged

Amid the entire world struggling for relief from pandemic coronavirus, Cosmo Foundation not only committed Rs.50 lakhs to address the crisis by identifying community needs, but also partnered with committed organizations and made intensive efforts to reach the most vulnerable population from a diverse social strata and diverse localities.

The foundation, along with other Foundations organized food for families of patients near AIIMS and various other hospitals for migrants and daily wage labourers in New Delhi. About 30,000 meals were served, also groceries were distributed to the needy. 

Similarly, the foundation provided massive relief through food and education in the Aurangabad district, which is one of the worst affected districts in Maharashtra and Vadodara district, which is the second most affected istrict in Gujarat. At both locations, masks and sanitizers provided for 450 corona warriors too.

Also, Cosmo Foundation has also started providing quality education on topics like computer education, English, life skills, arithmetic and native languages through online digital platforms and also teaching mobile operations for various purposes to students.

Looking at the need, a series of videos, stories and posters have been developed to educate the community on techniques of hand washing, importance of social distancing, ensuring health and hygiene to build immunity and correct use and disposal of Masks. These are circulated to the rural population through whatsapp groups and social media.

“These are unprecedented times and we have a larger humanitarian responsibility to address the needs of the less privileged and less fortunate sections of the society. We are partnering with prominent NGOs to provide much-needed help to the needy. We will continue to participate and collaborate in whatever way we could to overcome this COVID 19 pandemic and contribute to the wellbeing of our nation,” said Yamini Kumar, Managing Trustee of Cosmo Foundation.
