Helping India’s Most Vulnerable Children in COVID Times

Internationally acclaimed designers like Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi Mukherjee & Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla come forward to support CRY in their endeavour to support children weather the crisis. A report for Different Truths.

The Covid-19 pandemic has taken a huge toll on humanity, and over the last few months, we’ve been witnessing its effects on multiple levels. While our attention has zeroed down upon the visible impacts of this unprecedented health disaster, somehow, we’ve failed to see children as Covid’s unseen victims. And as the situation pans out, the pandemic is all set to leave a huge trail of effects on the overall well-being of children, especially from the marginalised communities and backward socio-economic backgrounds, stated a media release.

Even though the pandemic has impacted all CRY America events on the ground, we are still committed to continuing the work so that vulnerable children do not bear the brunt of this crisis. This year, CRY America is organizing a series of exciting online auctions titled Auction4CRY to raise much-needed funds for children during this COVID time.

The beautifully handcrafted saree with zardosi border donated by Malhotra in 2020 has got all our donors excited, the release added.

Talking about what drives him to stand up for the cause, Manish Malhotra said, “Child care and protection of their rights must be everyone’s responsibility, especially in this troubling time. It is deeply disturbing to see them suffering from the lack of education, health and nutrition, and learn about incidents of crimes against children. CRY’s holistic effort in education, healthcare, protection from child trafficking, and child labor is praiseworthy, and I support this model of sustainable change for children, it was stated.

“I’ve been donating outfits from my collection to CRY US Galas and in my way contributing to help raise funds for underprivileged children. I encourage everyone to come forward and help every child to live their childhood,” he further added.

He has been a constant support to CRY in the past four years and the intricately designed sarees and clutches donated by him has been greatly appreciated by all our donors in the US. The beautiful threadwork embroidered saree with hand-painted blouse donated by Mukherjee has been included in our online auction and has generated a lot of interest in the online space.
