My name is SUMALAVANYA VEETURI and I am a student studying at the Stella Maris College, Chennai.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us in different ways. Perhaps the hardest hit is the underprivileged sections of the society - particularly those who are daily wage earners. Suddenly they are without any source of income, and they are not able to provide food or the basic hygiene facilities to their families. At this juncture, we, the more privileged sections of the society need to step up to support them in this difficult time.
I request all of you to support my campaign so that we can also contribute to their well-being in our own small little way. The money collected from this campaign would be used to provide them with basic essentials and help them and their family deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in a more effective manner. Let's come together and do our bit.
Bag of Happiness is an initiative that seeks to impart a sense of sharing in every individual for both personal and social uplifting. It encourages a novel initiative to provide safe and standardized food to the lower strata of the society; by involving the young generation. This initiative provides a platform wherein especially the school students can get a sense of being associated with a social cause through a participatory approach.
Siragu - Empowering Women is a social enterprise that aims to provide a platform for the self-development & financial independence of the underprivileged women. The women at Siragu make sturdy bags made out of newspaper, jute and other up-cycled materials. The earnings derived from the sale of these products is in turn utilized to provide a better quality of life to the women and the families in the low-income communities.

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
