Welcome: AID Boston Chapter AID is a non-profit, volunteer movement that supports grassroots organizations in India and initiates efforts in various interconnected spheres such as education, livelihoods, natural resources, agriculture, health, women's empowerment and social justice. AID's holistic vision enables it to address underlying causes rather than just responding to symptoms, by supporting constructive and creative work through various projects and by using powerful tools for bringing change, such as campaigning against corruption. We, at AID Boston, believe that small initiatives such as the projects we support help shape the future of our nation. Donations to AID are tax-deductible in the USA. We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization with tax ID 04-3652609. |

Support our efforts on Covid Wave 2
|
Based on conversation with grassroots partners, we have launched a multi-pronged approach to respond:
1. Our health partners are helping with home care support for less severe covid cases (prone position, pulse oximeters to monitor, etc) 2. Supporting more serious cases with helplines to connect with hospitals and available beds. 3. Increase vaccine reach to rural areas and poor families since #VaccinesWork. Our partners are working towards reducing vaccine hesitancy and improving access to vaccine for rural communities. 4. Helping poor families who face economic distress due to covid lockdowns and closing of work places. In the last year, AID has provided economic and food support to thousands of people. 5. Helping families of extremely poor people whose main breadwinners have died because of Covid or hospitalized. 6. A small, targeted program to get oxygen concentrators to small town hospitals so that they're not left behind, while everyone is rushing O2 to major cities |
