West Bengal is fighting a fierce battle against the worst global pandemic and the most severe cyclone in a century. This fundraiser, led by Rotary Club of Belur, in partnership with Rotary Singapore, aims to supply 5000 + PPE kits and masks at this hour of crisis to enable our frontline medical professionals (doctors and nurses) to fight the war against deadly COVID-19. Part of the fund will be used to support relief/reconstruction for people impacted by the devastating Amphan cyclone.
We are reaching out to everyone with an urgent appeal for help. Kindly help us reach your friends and well-wishers especially at the local Bengali Association to support West Bengal healthcare workers and public health system at this hour of crisis.
West Bengal has been devastated by Amphan super cyclone recently and that has made the Covid-19 outlook even more grim and resources far more scarce. With so many people in relief centers and with social distancing becoming an illusion under the circumstances, any outbreak at this point can become a humanitarian disaster. Your support can make a real difference in the fight against Covid-19 and Amphan in West Bengal. We urge you to join us as a partner in this initiative.
At this hour of crisis, when some of the best resourced public hospitals are being ravaged by Covid-19, public hospitals in India severely lack protective and life-saving medical equipment. This is a call for donations as an expression of global solidarity. Rotary Belur will buy the equipment from reputed suppliers and supply to the public health department. West Bengal Health dept. has approved our in-kind contribution, and Rotary has kindly agreed to equally match our contributions if we manage to raise at least 25,000 USD. We aim to supply 5000+ PPE kits to public hospitals where COVID patients are treated for free, while supporting hand hygiene initiatives in Amphan relief camps. In the next phase of the project, with your kindness and solidarity, we plan to focus on life-saving equipment like ventilators.
