GPM is grateful for a $45,000 grant from the UJA-Federation of New York towards GPM’s grassroots COVID-19 Emergency Response in the slums of Mumbai and the rural tribal villages in Palghar, Maharashtra, just north of Mumbai. The grant will provide urgent food and medical supplies and especially help with establishing our new COVID-19 vaccination center!
Additional funds of $45,000 were allocated to our partner IsraAID that will help procure medical equipment launch remote stress and trauma prevention programs and assess long-term public health needs.
"We are indebted to both UJA-Federation of New York and IsraAID for their strong partnerships in helping GPM in treating and saving lives during this COVID-19 crisis in India," said Kenneth Dsouza, Director of GPM in India." The outpouring of support for our grassroots COVID-19 relief work in vulnerable communities, from the UJA-Federation of New York and others around the world is greatly appreciated and inspires us on the ground to work harder in saving lives."
“It’s heartbreaking to see the scenes from India today, and we hope our aid will spur others to join the relief effort,” said Eric S. Goldstein, CEO, UJA-Federation of New York.
