Sarthak and his peers wanted to help the poors during this hard time. On March 22, three days before the whole of India went into lockdown, Sarthak started his missions in response to immediate needs of citizens coping with the pandemic. His mission was to provide poor communities with hygiene kits, supply oxygen cylinder to the patients and donate cash relief to daily wagers. In the first three days, we received over ₹13 lacs in donations, two days later we were able to make our first disbursement to NGO partners who helped us distribute the hygiene kits. This was just the beginning, the amounts very small to match the scale of need. People, from all walks of life, wanted to help. We were inundated with requests about fundraising. That’s how HelpIndia Foundation was born. And we, at HelpIndia, wanted to harness this outpouring of compassion and enable the giving.We set up the India COVID Response Fund on April 10, 2020. Since the HelpIndia has little overhead, every donation goes deeper into the program to ensure every single person gets food and hygenic kits.
