Microblogging platform Twitter has donated $15 million to three non-governmental institutions in India, to help combat the unprecedented second wave of COVID-19 in the country. The amount has been split between Care, Aid India and Sewa International USA, founder Jack Dorsey said in a tweet on Monday. While Care received $10 million, Aid India and Sewa International has received $2.5 million each. South Korean electronics maker Samsung also pledged $5 million last week to help India fight COVID-19. Twitter last year donated to several organisations worldwide including NGO Direct Relief and Networks for Emergencies and Relief Inc. to support COVID-19 relief efforts.
