Our Response to the COVID-19 Crisis

The COVID-19 outbreak has thrown most countries, including ours, into an unprecedented and massive health and humanitarian crisis. The poorest and the most marginalized will be disproportionately disadvantaged as this crisis continues.

Therefore Azim Premji Foundation and Wipro jointly commenced efforts to support the civil society response and help in responding to the pandemic. Our immediate efforts have focused on reducing the human impact of the unfolding crises and supporting the healthcare system to respond to it.
