Twitter donates $ 15 million to three NGOs to help India battle Covid-19

Amid India’s battle against COVID-19, Microblogging giant Twitter has donated USD 15 million to help address the record surge in infections due to the second wave of the deadly virus.

The amount has been donated to three non-governmental organisations — Care, Aid India, and Sewa International USA.

“USD 15 million split between @CARE, @AIDINDIA, and @sewausato help address the COVID-19 crisis in India,” Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted.

A total of USD 10 million given to CARE will be used to supplement government efforts by setting up temporary COVID-19 infections care center; providing oxygen, PPE kits, and other critically needed emergency supplies for frontline health workers, and addressing vaccines hesitancy.
