Project formation:
Dhavari is one of the biggest slums in Asia. This is the place where migrant workers in Mumbai with an income of $1 per day choose to live. Unfortunately, it is located in Maharashtra state, where the impact of the pandemic is most severe in India. COVID-19 caused 45.000 deaths and countless job losses in this area. The disruption of income might trigger a famine among 50% of migrant workers living here.

Project implementation and outcome:
Be aware of the emergency of their situation, SonTa Foundation struggled to connect with partners in India to provide the residents of this area with proper aid. Among many helpful organizations, #FROMU2THEM is an NGO that focuses on supporting the people in Mumbai during COVID-19. This NGO raised funds valued at about 750.000 USD and delivered successfully more than 4.000.0000 meals to the potential victims of a famine in Mumbai. The cooperation between SONTA Foundation and #FROMU2THEM will help 150 households of migrant workers have safe daily meals.
