Background
According to estimates, more than 6 lakh people die due to the extreme cold in winters every year in India. This is just the reported figure, the actual figure might be manifolds bigger. This figure might not even include the poor people who die of fires or suffocation while trying to keep themselves warm, or those who are just too poor or too remote to be even counted.
Our Work
For more than two decades now, Goonj has been highlighting winters as an ignored disaster for the people who have little. We strongly believe that it’s not the cold but lack of clothing that kills people. That makes winters an avoidable and preventable disaster. Our annual winter campaign Odha Do Zindagi urges urban masses to contribute winter clothing or monetary contribution for people who have little to brave through harsh winters.
