Charity on the fringes

A health and economic crisis has made needy out of many, but some are more disadvantaged. Here's a list of organisations helping vulnerable communities whom you can support

Charity on the fringes

The pandemic has disproportionately affected the most vulnerable communities of our society, including daily wage workers, the homeless, weavers, trans people and even helpless stray animals. Those groups that depend on day-to-day earnings for their survival haven’t been able to generate any income. Non-profits and organizations that have traditionally worked for these communities are now helping them sustain through the crisis.


Homeless and urban poor


Those who are homeless during the lockdown lack the resources to keep themselves safe. Uday Foundation is helping by distributing food essentials and hygiene kits.

Transgender people

Transgender people

Samabhabona is a trans-led organisation working for trans rights. It has collaborated with other organisations in West Bengal to support trans people in the state, who usually depend on tried-and-tested methods of making money such as asking for alms or sex work. They intend to support 250 trans women.
