NAKSHA – REDISCOVERING AND MAPPING MUMBAI
Ever wondered what’s the significance behind the name which adorns the signboard at the beginning of your lane? Who are these people? What is their contribution which has earned them the place on the signboard?
Project Mumbai has launched one of the biggest and largest mapping initiatives of Mumbai’s roads. And what is on these roads. Including Hospitals, Educational institutions, pharmacies, and even Police stations. A collaborative action plan aims at ensuring every main road, every ‘gully’ gets mapped and its history recorded. A QR Code will help you navigate this further.
The MCGM, the Mumbai Police and the Mumbai University have joined hands with Project Mumbai to make this happen.
SAMAVESH – MAKING MUMBAI ACCESSIBLE & INCLUSIVE –
SUPPORTING WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL
Project Mumbai takes great pride in its partnership with the Mumbai Wheelers Wheel Chair Basket Ball Association #MWWBA.
Our collaborative effort will begin with providing accessible playing infrastructure to the fantastic bunch of wheelchair basketball players of Mumbai and Maharashtra, coaching support, employment opportunities and create orientation sessions with parents of differently-abled children, suggest career and healing options so they do not have to struggle with their child’s future.
Mumbai Fire Brigade in partnership with Project Mumbai, an award-winning not-for-profit today launched AGNI RAKSHAK–MAKING MUMBAI FIRE SAFE– a unique citizen volunteer program to train citizens in fire safety and awareness.
Close to thirty citizens from across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, who took part in the classroom and practical sessions for close to half a day were awarded FIRE SAFETY CITIZEN CHAMPION certificates by the two organizations.
The session is free for citizens and was held at the Byculla Headquarters of the Mumbai Fire Brigade and will take place every Saturday and would admit only pre-registered candidates.
The training is free. Those interested to register can write to volunteer@projectmumbai.org and will continue every Saturday, for those who wish to register porjectmumbai.org
SUPPORTING CHILDREN IMPACTED BY COVID:
COVID 19 has taken a toll on so many people around us.
Over twelve thousand children have lost a parent. So many children have been orphaned as well.
Project Mumbai has committed to pay the fees of as many of these children. They need our support.
The fees will be credited into the school account, once the details are verified by the WCD (Women and Child Development ) Officer of the respective district.
If you come across any such instance, please reach out to the District Officers of the said district.
The numbers of the District Officers are Listed below.
MUMBAI’S CHILDREN NEED YOUR SUPPORT:
COVID has taken a toll on one more academic year–compelling children to remain indoors, study online.
There are over two lakh children studying in Municipal schools who may not have a device to study. Or may have a shared device with no data.
YOU CAN HELP THEM.
For Rupees sixty thousand, you can help a hundred students complete the first three months of unhindered study. (Six hundred rupees per child for three months).
You can choose to donate six thousand and be the guardian angel for ten children.
Or donate Rs. 600 and help one child continue with his/ her education.
Dig deep into your pockets. Help as many children as you can.
Be a part of this crowdfunding link and save a future.
THE LIVELIHOOD MISSION-2021
The COVID 19 pandemic has taken a toll on so many of us. All around.
We know there are so many who have lost jobs, or suffered huge business losses. Families have lost their sole earning members, compelling children to discontinue studies.
There are so many instances of children, losing both parents to COVID as well.
It is our duty to help as many people as we can.
Project Mumbai has been relentless in its effort to support those in need.
The LIVELIHOOD MISSION-2021 is our effort to identify people in each of these segments and provide them support.
Be it financial support to guardians of children who have lost their parents, educational scholarships for others, Life and Health Insurance facilities, skilling and employment to adult survivors of those who have lost the sole earning member, or groceries support to families which have seen distress due to job losses.
If you know any such verified instances, please share the details here.
We would be happy to work with you and provide the support.
You may either direct them to fill in these details or help them avail of this facility.
Please have them fill this form, with details at the earliest.
Some of you who may wish to contribute financially to The LIVELIHOOD MISSION 2021 can click on the link and make a contribution as well.
You will be sent a 80 g tax benefit certificate immediately on your contribution.
Thank you.
Project Mumbai (www.projectmumbai.org) is a not-for-profit model of public-private people partnership engaged in social transformation through initiatives of scale.
We are raising funds to ensure better healthcare for the citizens–by boosting public health care infrastructure–procuring Ventilators, HFNCs, Oxygen Concentrators, PPE kits, and Body bags for public Hospitals across Mumbai and Maharashtra.
The funds would also be utilized to help citizens cope with the crisis–by helping them with Oxygen concentrators for the home quarantined.
Our effort is also to support families coping with job loss by providing them with grocery kits for sustenance.
Over the last 14 months alone since COVID 19 struck, Project Mumbai has been relentless in its relief measures to help those impacted by the pandemic– from providing meals to over 65 lakh people, groceries to over 30,000 families, making the country’s largest PPE kit donation to Mumbai’s healthcare leaders, providing three mental wellness helplines reaching out to 24 states, running a call centre for Home quarantined to providing free delivery of medicines and food facility for senior citizens living alone and a dashboard for non-covid hospitals, just to name a few.
Project Mumbai is the recipient of the United Nations SDG Solidarity Action Award 2020, in recognition of its humanitarian work during COVID 19. Only fifty organizations have been chosen globally for this honor, Project Mumbai being one of them.
This is also one of Project Mumbai’s 14 awards, in its two and a half years since foundation.
We have our 12A and 80G.
As we at project Mumbai say “Mumbai Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega”
Project Mumbai Honoured with the UNITED NATIONS SDG Solidarity Action Award 2020 in recognition of its Humanitarian work during COVID 19.
Project Mumbai is one of only fifty chosen globally.
