Greet for Cause: The big Idea

Greet for a Cause is an initiative born out of the small and short visit to Tharparkar by myself with some friends in Dec 2014. Here I noticed that neonatal causality rate is high in Mithi Taluka due to lack of high fiber diet, resources and limited access to transportation.

An idea clicked in, to sell greeting cards for the fund raising, which will help in feeding 10 families for next 3 months and so on based on their monthly performance.
