Over £110,000 has been raised by the British Indian Jewish Association (BIJA)’s fund-raising efforts to support the response to Covid in India. This has been raised in 3 days from over 130 donors, with Natalie Machta-Joseph leading on the campaign.
All money raised is going to the British Asian Trust’s (BAT) Emergency Appeal. The amount raised is equivalent to helping 220,000 patients with breathing difficulties through low-flow oxygen concentrators. BIJA Co-Chairs Zaki Cooper and Dr Peter Chadha said: “We have been overwhelmed by the response to the appeal. Thank you to each and every one of our donors. We know there are lots of deserving causes out there and that people have dug deep. India is a very special country to so many in our communities. This fund-raising effort shows that we stand in solidarity with the people of India in combating this terrible virus. We will keep going as our traditions teach us about the sanctity and importance of every human life.”
