The story of the COVID-19 pandemic in India is a story of data and numbers. Numbers that are reported, and those that are not. Numbers that are important, and those that are deemed less so.
Numbers that matter, and numbers we don’t seem to care about. Nonprofits working on the ground, including us at Apnalaya, began to respond to the spread of the virus early. Communities were
sensitised before the lockdown was announced, and once the lockdown seemed inevitable, the focus shifted to relief. We received support from, and are very thankful to, the many individual
supporters who contributed to our call for donations. Corporate entities and institutional donors (some of whom we’ve associated with in the past, and some new) also supported us,
strengthening our resolve to go deeper into relief work. However, not all conversations were easy.
