Mumbai, (Maharashtra) [India]: You must never hunt for an excuse to assist people who are in need. Extending a helping hand not only wipes the tears from their eyes, but it also functions as a self-cure. Working towards the same, a Non-Profit organization, Making the Difference (MTD), by Mr Deepak Vishwakarma are working for the poor and marginalized people living in the slums and disaster-affected areas.

Uplifting the downtrodden people, MTD’s main goal is to alleviate poverty, which they do by implementing well-thought-out programmes in health, education, livelihoods, and disaster planning and response.

Their overarching purpose is to improve the lives and livelihoods of children from poor and marginalised areas. Work, according to religion, is worship, but there’s more to it than that; humanity is also worship, and it’s something that our society desperately needs.

It is only through self-satisfaction that life is worth living. We live in a world where the impoverished and downtrodden make up a large percentage of the population. In his or her life, each person may have a particular requirement. While some aspire to be successful, others lack the most basic necessities, such as a place to live or enough food to eat. But that’s not all; other people may just require affection, such as those who yearn to see smiles.

Helping such people, NGO Making the Difference started its journey on 23rd March when the first lockdown started and since then there is no looking back for them. They have done many campaigns to help the community during this pandemic & haven’t stopped yet.
