Inside the Covid-19 crisis in India: What's going on and how you can help

May 11, 2021 • Kaitlin • Season 2 • Episode 6

"It's like a war except everyone who's dying are innocent civilians." – Deval Sanghavi, Partner & Co-Founder at Dasra

"Our team members are sick, unable to get a hospital bed, get oxygen. They're scrambling." – Sneha Sheth, CEO & Co-Founder at Dost Education

In the US, more than 44 percent of people are at least partially vaccinated against Covid-19, but in India, it’s a much different story. Only nine percent have had at least one shot. Meanwhile, the health care system is overwhelmed as the country experiences the world’s worst outbreak, with new cases staying well above 300,000 every day.

My guests this week are Deval Sanghavi and Sneha Sheth. They both run non-profits on the frontlines of the Covid-19 crisis in India.

Right now they're hosting a fundraiser to support emergency work through Dasra and local organizations. Donations here will be matched:
