ON THE FRONT LINES WITH NO PROTECTIVE GEAR: Doctors, policemen & healthcare workers need our help.
Our safety has been made possible by thousands of people across India who are risking their lives every day on the frontlines to help minimize the impact of COVID-19: our doctors, healthcare workers, the police and many more. But, spare a moment to think about the safety of these heroes who go out daily leaving their families behind to keep us safe.
THE SOLUTION
The student-led organisation Enactus IIT Delhi aims to provide face shields to doctors, police officers and other frontline workers. This is being done under our programme TogetherWeCare. Face shields are essential protective equipment as they protect the eyes, neck and face of the person as they cover entry points for the virus. As the privileged ones, it is our responsibility to ensure that our COVID-19 warriors are protected. They have shown great sacrifice and resilience in these times.
Let's join our hands to help and support them through this.

ABOUT THE INITIATIVE
ABOUT ME
My name is Venkatesh & I currently reside at Gurgaon. I am 17 years old and a student/working professionally at G.D.Goenka Public School.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us in different ways. However, there's a large group of people who are on the frontlines fighting day in and day out to help all of us overcome these difficult times. These COVID WARRIORS are leading the fight against this pandemic in every possible way by leaving their family at home. This includes policemen, hospital staff, municipal workers, etc. One of the critical safety elements for them is a FACE-SHIELD.
It is critical that we as citizens, should ensure the ones who are keeping us safe are safe in the first place.
Through this campaign, I aim to raise funds to raise INR 15000 or more. This will help provide 600 face shields or more to the frontline warriors (doctors, healthcare workers & police officers, etc) in NCR, UP, Bihar & Jharkhand. (Each Faceshield costs only INR 25 including distribution). Kindly support this campaign & lets together make a difference.

How does crowdfunding work?
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. 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.
