This year, tackling the cold is going to be tougher, especially for millions affected by the cyclones, floods and the long-tailed pandemic across the country. In absence of bare minimum, the winter is going to be yet another Disaster for them. The homeless people, the migrant laborers and people in remote villages will have to bear the brunt of the harsh weather.
Join Goonj’s annual winter campaign Odha Do Zindagi and contribute winter essentials for those who have very little. You standing with them will mean so much!
Urgently required material – Winter essentials like shawls, blankets, sweaters, socks, jackets, mufflers, gloves, boots, shoes etc. and Sarees.
