STREET Lab is joining hands with Jan Swasthya Abhiyan & Delhi Science Forum to offer free health check-ups for gig & informal workers who have no choice but to work even when Delhi's AQI soars above 1000+. Reach out to Dipsita if you'd like to get involved!

Our first free health camp in Delhi with JSA,DSF and STREET lab UofT for Gig and other outdoor workers. The most surprising thing is how normalised the pollution and its effects are. People are aware of what they are going through yet absolutely unaware of what can be done!
