At the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19, hundreds of healthcare attendants put their lives at risk every day to save infected patients and help out in this global health crisis. These unsung heroes are the sweepers, ward boys and other healthcare attendants who spend all day at hospitals leaving their families at home and exposing themselves through direct constant contact with COVID-19 patients. Let’s take a small step to have a lasting impact on our community.
Each meal will consist of roti, vegetable with curry, rice, banana and biscuits. They will be provided to the sweepers, ward boys and healthcare attendants of St. Geroge's Hospital & JJ Hospital, Mumbai.
THE TEAM IN ACTION
ABOUT ME & THIS CAMPAIGN
My name is NAVYA SHAH, I am 16 years old and in Grade 10 at Bombay International School, Mumbai.
I am a part of a group of high school students all across the city, with a desire to help and make a difference during these unprecedented challenging times. The healthcare attendants, including sweepers, ward boys and assistants at COVID hospitals such as St George hospital and JJ hospital, come from underprivileged backgrounds and live paycheck to paycheck. They are especially vulnerable to the virus and we can support them by ensuring they get to eat nutritious meals every day.
We are organising an event Stepathon to raise funds and provide daily food meals to them so that they can sustain their basic nutritious requirements. While helping feed the frontline healthcare workers, we also want to promote the importance of being fit and healthy especially during this lockdown period when staying active is difficult. Read on for more information.
STEPATHON: BE FIT AND DO YOUR BIT

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 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.
