My Story

Covid-19 has brought the world to a standstill and India is one of the most affected countries right now. Construction workers, janitors, domestic workers, taxi drivers and people with other similar day jobs have lost their daily bread amidst lockdowns and restrictions, rendering their families struggling to make ends meet.  Sangam Vihar, New Delhi, is one such community.  Further, children of these communities who attend local Government schools have not been doing so in the past year due to Government Health and Safety Guidelines. Under such difficult circumstances, it is fairly common in these communities to send young girls off to work to alleviate the financial burden on the family. UCD Volunteers Overseas in partnership with Community Education and Development Centre, New Delhi,  is raising funds from across the globe to help these children with virtual educational resources and their families with food and sanitary kits to get through this grim time. No child should have to compromise on their education, no family should be forced into starvation. And every little you donate will help make that difference.I'm Sruthi, a volunteer with UCDVO, closely working with CEDC team this year. An explanatory video about UCDVO can be found below. All funds raised will be directed towards women and children of Sangam Vihar, New Delhi, I will be happy to provide reports of the same. For any other queries, please email [email protected]. Thank you for your time and kindness.
