Millennium Fellowship Project: Purnota with Flock Together
Purnota with Flock Together is a fushion effort of two separate projects Purnota and Flock Together. Purnota aims to help people in need by providing financial aids or through disbursement of necessary things. Flock Together is a project aimed to provide a platform for people to safely share and discuss about mental health struggles and learn about coping mechanisms. A part of Purnota is to collect funds which coincides with Flock Together which aims to create a fund from where people will be able to facilitate the expenditures of seeing a doctor or therapist. Thus, Purnota helped Flock Together to create a fund and reach out to people.
