Volunteers of Youngistaan Foundation in service of people during pandemic.
Hyderabad: Youngistaan Foundation’s Covid-19 Relief Support has been recognised as a Special Mention for the year 2020-21 in the category ‘Innovation@COVID-19’ for helping people during the Covid-19 pandemic by creating an online pool of volunteers and organisations, at the 7th Social Media for Empowerment (SM4E) Awards.
A total of 145 nominations across seven categories from different countries were received during the pandemic, out of which 28 initiatives were selected after the first round of screening for the final evaluation by the jury, a press release said.
Addressing the second wave of Covid-19, Youngistaan Foundation has set up a 40 member volunteer team who are generating real time availability of beds, oxygen generating devices, isolation centres, food centres, free transport facilities in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and other states of the country. Volunteers are also contacting the beneficiaries in person and assisting in verifying the resource on phone to avoid all the hassle a patient’s family goes through in those testing times.
