and Mick Jagger are joining Steven Spielberg and a galaxy of Bollywood stars in supporting the We For India fundraiser for post-COVID relief relief work in India.
The event aims to raise more than $3.5 million for GiveIndia, India’s largest donation platform. The proceeds will be used to provide oxygen concentrators, cylinders, ventilators, and essential medicines as well as ICU units. Funds will also go towards supporting the staffing of vaccination centers and to rebuild the livelihoods of those thrust into poverty due complete loss of income because of the pandemic. Meal and ration kits will be provided to families hit financially by the pandemic.
“The world has been stunned by stories of families torn apart by the loss of loved ones and businesses forced to close, plunging thousands into poverty,” said Natasha Mudhar, founder of The World We Want. “We believe in the power that lies in global solidarity when everyone, everywhere comes together in a collective effort to create change.
