Raises awareness about fundraiser campaign aimed at aiding underprivileged kids and frontline workers
As of today, the world is struggling to come to terms with the biggest pandemic it’s facing in the form of COVID-19 outbreak. As the infection spread, what no-one was able to foresee or predict is the colossal impact it would bring to the daily functioning of human life. Pharmaceutical and FMCG companies are grappling under the current pressure to meet the market demands. This has set-off panic buying with people overstocking their homes with essential as well as non-essential commodities; resulting in an imbalance with many left without basic food and medical supplies.
These are challenging times. It has however, instilled amongst individuals, organizations the ‘Sense of Helping One Another’. Several brands including India’s first Theme Park, Imagicaa are looking at various avenues in which they can contribute to the society at large. It was only natural therefore to associate with Child Rights and You (C.R.Y), a trusted partner, with whom Imagicaa has worked with over the past three years during Christmas to uplift the spirits of underprivileged kids.
For the longest time, C.R.Y has been working with the underprivileged section of the society, particularly kids, looking after and meeting their emotional, nutritional, hygienic and educational needs. But meeting the product demand-supply has become difficult for the lower-income groups with the current prevalent problem i.e. lack of essential goods on-shelf. This is not the only problem that persists today. There is also scarcity of vital medical supplies ranging from masks, sanitizers, personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies required by all frontline workers.
To overcome this nutritional and medical crisis, Imagicaa is supporting the fundraiser campaign organised by C.R.Y and devoted towards addressal and fulfilment of the below six specific needs –
