Donate a Blanket – Save Lives This Winter

Winter is not just a season; for many, it is a harsh, life-threatening challenge. Every year, as temperatures plummet, countless individuals across India—living on streets, in slums, or with inadequate shelter—struggle to survive the biting cold. For them, a simple blanket can mean the difference between life and death.

At Pragati Welfare Foundation, we are committed to changing this reality. Our "Donate a Blanket, Save Lives" campaign for Winter 2025 aims to protect the most vulnerable by providing them with the warmth they desperately need. For just ₹199, you can be the reason someone survives a freezing night. Join us in this mission of compassion and hope.

Why Is This Campaign Important?

The Impact of Winter on the Homeless

• Life-Threatening Cold: Sub-zero temperatures, especially in northern India, can lead to hypothermia and other cold-related health complications.
• Increased Vulnerability: Many street-dwelling individuals lack access to adequate clothing, shelter, or medical care.
• Unseen Suffering: The elderly, children, and disabled individuals suffer disproportionately, often unnoticed by society.

A Blanket Can Save a Life

• Immediate Relief: A blanket provides an instant shield against the cold, reducing the risk of illness.
• Comfort and Hope: Beyond physical warmth, it offers emotional solace to those who feel abandoned.
• Sustainability: A good-quality blanket lasts for years, protecting its recipient through many winters.

About the Campaign

With your support, we aim to distribute 10,000 blankets this winter to individuals and families living on the streets, in underprivileged communities, or in rural areas lacking basic resources.

Each donation of ₹199 provides:

• A high-quality, durable blanket designed to withstand extreme cold.
• Our dedicated volunteers deliver directly to those in need.

Your contribution can literally save lives.
