Story
Maa Krupa Foundation is registered UK charity operating for over 9 years (Registered Charity No.1132439).
The organisation helps raise funds for poor & needy people in the UK, India, and Africa
We are currently raising funds to send 105+ oxygen concentrators to India.
Due to current second wave – the requirement is huge and currently 100,000+ patients are in need of oxygen in Delhi alone.
We have partnered with local charities to ensure our small contribution will reach patients who are not able to get oxygen beds in hospitals. This will help to stabilise and aid the recovery of hundreds of patients.
Current Status of Fundraising & Shipment

£40k already raised – this has paid for 50% of units and these units have reached Delhi 12th May – these units are already being distributed to COVID patients
Need to raise £45k in next 48 hours to pay for remaining units - if we achieve target in next 48 hours - these units can reach India by 15th May (by air)
Any extra funds raised will be used to procure more concentrators
