Sara Ali Khan to raise funds to help children affected by HIV

The actress has joined hands with Anshula Kapoor’s fundraising platform Fankind to help raise funds for a Mumbai based NGO Committed Communities Development Trust (CCDT). The donations raised will help the NGO provide care and support to children and families affected with HIV. 

The crowdfunding campaign went live on Thursday (January 2). “I’m grateful to CCDT for the wonderful work that they do by supporting children and families affected by HIV. Not only do they provide shelters and infrastructural help to those directly affected by AIDS, but they also ensure that families don’t fall apart after a member is diagnosed,” said Sara in a statement.
 
“Today, social stigma and emotional trauma are as important issues to address for families as actually supporting those that are affected by HIV. Over the years, CCDT has been working towards reducing stigma and discrimination and ensuring that people have access to treatment, information and prevention services,” the Simmba actress further said. She added that this helps her give back to the society. “Thank you Fankind for giving me this amazing opportunity to play a part in giving back to the society; I urge you guys to help me support this noble cause,” she said. 

As part of the campaign on fankind.org, fans can donate and buy entries for Rs 200 and its multiples, and a randomly-chosen fan along with a friend will get to meet Sara.
