Ask HN: How to raise money for a Covid 19 WhatsApp Chatbot?

I'm currently trying to build a Whatsapp based chatbot to provide food and basic necessities to the people under quarantine in Kerala, India.

Most people in Kerala who owns a smartphone has access to Whatsapp so a bot to provide authentic news, and to request food and ambulace would be of paramount importance.

Raising money from the government for a bot is really hard, so is there any way to raise the necessary funds for this project ?

All ideas, links to grants are all welcome.
