The actress, in collaboration with Crocs, will give the footwear to public and governments hospitals in Kerala, Maharashtra, Haryana, and Karnataka.

Global UNICEF ambassador, Priyanka said: "Healthcare professionals across the country are our true superheroes, working everyday to ensure our safety and fighting for us on the frontlines. Their courage, commitment, and sacrifices are saving innumerable lives in this global pandemic. While we cannot even imagine what's it like to be in their shoes, we can at least help them be comfortable in them. Because of the nature of their work, it is critical for them to have easy-to-clean shoes and apparel for themselves... We are so glad to be able to offer this support and hope this helps these caregivers in the fight against this virus."
