The second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic hit India particularly hard. Shocked, we listen to the reports from our colleagues from major Indian cities and follow the weekly development of events.

But the effects are even more devastating in the country's rural areas. Where initial relief measures are often not deployed and people are left to their fate. The second wave rages unstoppably and wipes out entire families. The population in the villages is powerless and has no means to effectively fight the pandemic.

In order to counteract this development, we support the Dharma Life initiative and now ask you to: help us to help together!

How can we help?

There is a lot of uncertainty in these areas in particular, which leads, for example, to people even accepting an infection instead of getting vaccinated. As long as there are no nationwide measures to educate people, the fear of vaccination will remain omnipresent.

We want to help this part of the Indian population and, together with Dharma Life, have put together three packages of aid measures that are intended to provide people with quick and effective help:

The Dharma Life initiative has so far raised around $100.000 to help people in rural areas. More detailed information and more about the You can find out how Dharma Life works here.
