Story
Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large chunk of the Indian student community has become stranded in the UK. Many are facing difficulties in managing their emergency expenses due to the subsequent loss of part-time jobs.
In another part of the world, in Chennai, India, underprivileged families have been on the brink of starvation due to the unprecedented lockdown situation. For the entire duration of lockdown in India, the NISAU is seeking to provide three square meals to over 1200 children from such families.
NISAU, UK's oldest and largest Indian student organisation is supporting the people in need in all ways possible.
We are raising funds to support the stranded and the most impacted. Please donate generously to help fellow impacted Indians both in the U.K. and India. Depending upon how much we are able to raise the more vulnerable people we will be able to support. The more we raise, the more number of vulnerable people we can extend our help and support to
Stranded students, children, poor labourers without jobs and other vulnerable people especially those below the poverty line really need your help.
