Continuing to Help India

With everyones exceptional support we have enough money to immediately send $15,000 dollars worth of O2 technology to India!

Westborough has inspired us to continue to fund raise to send more O2 technology until such time as the need subsides!

The need continues; so will we

The Westborough Educational Technology Fund (WETF) launched this campaign on Friday, May 8th at 3:30pm. By Monday morning, we hit our initial goal of $15,000!

We are grateful for your response and support, as we received hundreds of donations ranging from $5 to $1000. Your support was fast and vast.

After speaking with and vetting several charitable organizations and efforts, we are partnering with Community Partners International and the team at Navya, lead by Gitika Srivastava and Dr. Naresh Ramarajan.Their efforts have already delivered more than 4,000 O2 concentrators to India. Using Navya’s relationships with over 200 hospitals and clinics, their team has people on-the-ground able to help move equipment to where it’s needed, including rural areas of the country. With shipping donated by FedEx and Air India, the team has proven success with transportation, logistics, and customs clearances.

The funds we have raised will get help to hard hit areas quickly and efficiently. The funds raised will add 10 more O2 Concentrators to a shipment scheduled for May 29th. One high flow concentrator helps approx. 60 patients per month!

What's next ?

While we quickly met our initial goal, the need continues and will evolve. Until the situation in India is stable; Gitika, Naresh and their team will continue to move desperately needed O2 technology to india. So will we!!

WETF will continue to accept donations and will continue to fund shipments of O2 technologies to India.

Please donate if you can. Please share this with friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Help us get the word out as we help make real change in India and support our neighbors, friends, and relatives with ties to the country.

I cannot thank the community of Westborough enough for coming together this way. The expediency and generosity of your contributions help save lives! The oxygen concentrators that we sent on Sunday are already deployed at close to 60 hospitals across the country. We are so excited about the continued support from Westborough Education Technology Fund to send and distribute more equipment across India.
