Hyderabad-based NGO offers free post-Covid sanitisation
Since the launch of the initiative on July 3, Helping Spot Organisation has sanitised 16 old-age homes and seven orphanages
Hyderabad: In the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, there were several organisations that came forward to help the needy and city-based NGO Helping Spot Organisation is one among them.
Between April 16 and June 30, the NGO provided more than 34,000 free meals to Covid-19 patients and now, they have taken up another initiative – Mission Sanitisation.
As a part of this, the organisation, led by Bhargav Ventrapragada, is offering free post-Covid sanitisation to old-age homes, orphanages and is also aiming at supporting the government by sanitising government offices. “We launched this initiative on July 3 and so far we have sanitised 16 old-age homes and seven orphanages. We have 40 more in the pipeline,” says Bhargav, adding, “More than just sanitising, this is also our way of telling people the importance of sanitising to help combat a potential third wave.”
The organisation is using 99 per cent alcohol-based sanitiser instead of the commonly used Sodium Hypochlorite to ensure a healthier, safer way of sanitising and according to Bhargav, it is costing them about Rs 5,000 for each place. “We have hired people to specifically do this and have trained them as well,” says Bhargav who is funding this initiative from his family’s resources.
