Over 100 volunteers of Shuddhi spread across Delhi and Mumbai have been distributing food packets, vegetables and other essentials to people marching on foot, “It’s really a pity to see people walking for several days along with their children without food and water because they have no money left with them. We decided to serve them. We have distributed food items to over 2000 such people in Delhi and Mumbai which include dal chawal, juice and other items,” said Saurabh Gupta, founder of Shuddhi.

Besides, Shuddhi has been actively involved in reaching out to the people even before the lockdown. The non-profit distributed hand sanitizers, face masks and food to people living on streets in Delhi and Mumbai. The volunteers also went to the slums to distribute these items after the lockdown. Nearly 2500 people in both the cities have been benefitted by their efforts, “We also have over 3000 partner non-profits across the country whom we are giving all possible help including cash to help people during coronavirus,” added Saurabh.
