AIDWA Donates Rs Five Lakhs to Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund

THE All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) has donated Rs 5 lakh towards Nepal earthquake relief fund. The money, which was collected by the ground level activists of AIDWA was handed over to the ambassador of Nepal, Deep Kumar Upadhyay on June 16, 2015. An AIDWA delegation comprising of Jagmati Sangwan (general secretary), Sehba Farooqui (Delhi state secretary), Reeja Jayaprasad (CEC member), Maimoona Mollah (vice president, Delhi AIDWA) and Anju Jha (treasurer, Delhi AIDWA) handed over the cheque to the ambassador at the Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi. Following the large scale loss of life and property in the high intensity earthquake that hit Nepal, AIDWA had launched a nation wide campaign to collect funds for the people of the country. The delegation also had an interaction around the collaboration on gender issues. The collection drive received good response and people contributed with open hearts.
