COVID-19: FROM RESPONSE TO RECOVERY!

COVID-19: FROM RESPONSE TO RECOVERY! 150 150 United Way India

As lockdowns in India begin to ease, resources need to be kept in care. For making a strong recovery, United Way India network continues to provide essential services to vulnerable people in the best possible way. As we have started the journey towards recovery mode, here is a message from our global leadership at United Way Worldwide-

United Way is unparalleled in our power to convene partners, providers, and resources to address the needs of communities in crisis. This has never been more important than now. We have been responding to local needs and society’s most pressing problems for more than 130 years. COVID-19 is a new challenge for us, but we’re up for it. United Way was built for this. 

And more from our local leaders…
