How You Helped Us Change Thousands of Lives Create Incredible Impact in 2021 #IndiaNEWS #Impact
2021 felt like an endless year. When one looks back at the many, many events that gripped us all throughout the year, it often feels almost impossible to believe that so much happened in one year.
Especially when it comes to COVID, the virus has raged in deadly waves throughout the year, and we are facing the Omicron variant as the year ends. As a result, it has been tough to see the bright side in 2021. And yet, as with every year, our readers joined us at every possible step, and have shown us that such a side exists.
All year round, we saw people help each other during our darkest hours, at times at the risk of their own lives. From helping a fellow citizen get an oxygen cylinder to campaigning 247 on social media for available hospital beds for a stranger’s mother — the kindness of others knew no bounds. And while it would be impossible to catalogue every single act of selfless kindness our readers displayed this year, here is our attempt to highlight a few, which touched us deeply.
Heres how you joined us and helped The Better India create a massive impact in the lives of thousands of people in 2021.
1. The time when you stepped up to help India’s children sail through the pandemic.

The exponential rise in COVID-19 infections and subsequent deaths in 2021 were far more devastating for children than the first wave, particularly for those from underprivileged communities. From their education taking a backseat to them being in dire need of immediate support — children across India were forced to retreat several steps in their journey towards a future of hope.
While many children lost their parents to the deadly virus, many saw their parents suffer financially due to job losses. To address this urgent crisis, The Better India launched ‘To India’s Children’, a campaign as part of which we worked with various NGOs across India to help children fight the impact of COVID-19. These organisations, spread across the country, aimed to help children by providing them access to education, nutrition, shelter, support and more. The four NGOs that we worked with were Parikrma Humanity Foundation from the South, Snehalaya from the West, Ek Tara from East and Rouble Nagi Art Foundation in the North. These NGOs were struggling to support either orphaned children or children from the underserved communities with either shelter, nutrition, sanitation or access to education.
With your help, we raised a fund of Rs 21,82,518 through our Milaap fundraiser and a fund of Rs 15,08,000 through donations from our corporate partners.
WakeFit donated 32 mattresses for kids staying at RNAF Centres, Lifebuoy donated 4,000 kits of lifebuoy soaps to all 4 NGOs, MG Motors donated 50 refurbished laptops that were provided to children at Ek Tara and Parikrma.
