The idea of creating a cloth donation drive came in September 2021. An appeal was made to the Vizagites, asking them to come forward and donate their old used clothes to the tribals in the Visakhapatnam district. The response was huge, and we received clothes from all corners of the city and more than 7000 pieces of clothes like Sarees, Tops, Shirts, T-shirts, Jeans, Trousers, etc.
We set up 7 drop points at multiple city corners, facilitating Vizagites to donate clothes to their nearest drop point. The donation phase was ended on 10th December 2021, and we started segregating the clothes and packing them in boxes.
On the morning of 26th December 2021, our team started from Vizag at 5 AM and headed towards the villages of Madugulla mandala. The members were split into 3 teams, headed towards different villages with their respective clothes loads. The teams started their cloth donation at 10 AM and ended at 4 PM. The joy created on the faces of the tribals satisfied all the efforts we put in to make sure that the drive was a successful one.
We want to thank all our cloth donors who came forward and donated a part of their life to share it with the needy tribals of Visakhapatnam.
