As winter sets in, the cold streets of Delhi/NCR become an unbearable challenge for thousands of homeless individuals, elderly, and underprivileged people. Without proper shelter, they brave harsh temperatures, often below 10°C. While most people find solace in warm quilts and cozy homes, more than 10,000 homeless individuals are left to sleep on the roadsides of big flyover’s. Tragically, many of them are senior citizens over 60 years old, abandoned by their families and left to fend for themselves.
Cancer Care Trust, through its impactful initiative Mission Vastra Daan, is committed to addressing this pressing issue. With the Blanket Donation Drive 2024-2025, we invite you to join our mission of spreading warmth and comfort to those in desperate need.
Project Vastra Daan: A Ray of Hope
Cancer Care Trust’s Blanket Donation Drive is a beacon of hope, aiming to provide warmth and comfort to those who need it most. As winter approaches, we invite you to join our mission of providing high-quality warm blankets and essential ration kits to the homeless and underprivileged on the streets and slum areas of Delhi/NCR.
Started in 2013 with the distribution of 500 blankets, Project Vastra Daan has grown into a powerful initiative that now reaches approximately 5000 individuals every year on the streets of Delhi.
In 2024-2025, we aim to provide 5000 high-quality warm blankets to underprivileged individuals in streets, government hospitals, under flyovers, and construction sites.
Cancer Care Trust’s unwavering commitment to helping the most vulnerable in society by distributing:
- High-quality warm blankets
- Essential ration kits
- Dignity kits
The gift of a warm blanket during winter is more than just a gesture of kindness, it can prevent severe illnesses and provide critical relief to countless homeless individuals. This year, the early onset of winter combined with rising air pollution levels has further increased their vulnerability, making it even more essential to extend warmth and care.
