Explaining their vision and mission, the website of the event stated: “COVID-19 has hit the extreme poor more than any of us. As we practice social distancing, let us not distance ourselves from the most vulnerable whose survival depends on our generosity.”

“VIGA is providing relief to the most vulnerable, particularly old persons, daily wage laborers and street vendors. Initially, we aim to support 100,000 families through several of our programs,” the statement read. The foundation, VIGA, is a project of the Akhuawat organization.
