You fixed slippers for the feet of 5000 workers in just 15 days. By being a partner in Hope Welfare Trust and The Better India #DonateASlipper campaign. If it wasn’t for you, this smile wouldn’t have happened and such a change wouldn’t have happened. Thank you for making this possible! :pray:
The Meteorological Department had warned that there will be more heat than usual in the country this year. In such a situation, workers across the country are forced to work even in these adverse conditions, because this is their livelihood. They spend their days cutting wood and stone under the scorching sun to support their family. That too without essential amenities like slippers.
“I make a bandage out of leaves and rope and wear it on my legs,” says Shyambabu, a 70-year-old laborer from Mirzapur. Although this experiment is a trick, it is not effective for long. By the end of the day his slippers break. And they have to work barefoot in the sun.
You might be wondering why he doesn’t buy slippers?
To this Shyambabu says “I earn 80 rupees a day. With this money should I buy slippers or bread for myself and my family.”
But today he has slippers to wear. Some time ago, many workers in Uttar Pradesh, like Shyambabu, were forced to walk without slippers even in the hot sun. These people, who earn Rs 60-70 a day, were forced to choose between a full meal and slippers.
The Better India decided to try to help them. You made our efforts easier.
By being a partner in Hope Welfare Trust and The Better India #DonateASlipper campaign. In April, we appealed to you to donate just Rs 100, you organized slippers for the feet of 5000 workers in just 15 days. Now they won’t have to go out barefoot in the heat of May and June. Not only that, by participating in this campaign, you have helped many women in the Green Group to become self-reliant. If it wasn’t for you, this smile wouldn’t have appeared on 5000 faces and such a change wouldn’t have happened.
Thank you for making this possible!
