Indian Humanitarian COVID Crisis Fund
Fundraising for ActionAid
Story
Thank you for supporting McCain's fundraising in aid of the Covid-19
response in India. We are supporting the Indian Humanitarian Covid-19 Crisis Via ActionAid, who are an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty, but these particular funds will be directed straight to communities in India where the most urgent help is needed.
As India battles a devastating second wave of Covid-19, frontline workers including those working in overwhelmed mortuaries and burial sites, and women domestic workers caring for people with the virus, are being left without access to protective equipment and exposed to infection.
ActionAid Association India is providing much needed support to vulnerable workers and communities, including safety and sanitation kits, and food relief for thousands of informal workers, who are on the frontlines of the Covid-19 crisis.
Helplines, run by ActionAid Association India across Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, are tackling misinformation by providing up to date information on the availability of hospital beds, oxygen cylinders and Covid vaccines.
Wondering what to give?
