This Winter Spread the Comfort of Warmth
Odha Do Zindagi- Goonj’s Annual winter campaign
As the mercury level drops, many homeless people and migrant workers squatting under flyovers, or on pavements at the market are shivering in the merciless cold weather, without a single woolen layer or the warmth of a blanket. Winter is becoming India’s most silent and ignored disaster which has claimed many lives every year in the past decade. Amidst the long-tailed pandemic & other natural disasters like floods & cyclones, people have lost their homes & livelihoods. Eventually, with limited resources, the unusually harsh winter is going to severely impact them, bringing the worst of times for millions across many parts of India.
Goonj calls attention to this ignored yet preventable disaster and works towards reducing the death and suffering of the homeless during the winter, primarily due to the lack of appropriate winter clothing. Goonj strongly believes that it’s not the cold but lack of clothing that kills people, underscoring winters as an avoidable disaster.
To tackle this harsh continuous disaster, Goonj’s annual winter campaign “Odha Do Zindagi” provides immediate relief through winter clothing and other essentials crucial for many vulnerable communities from becoming a victim of piercing cold spanning across India. We urge you to make monetary contributions for people who have little to brave through harsh winters. Through the contributions, Goonj will procure the woolen materials which will help us to continue our fight against the harsh winters
We are there..
Need you too..
