We have so far provided over 200 tons of dry rations to families in need, 10,797 PPE kits and 2,49,000 masks, gloves and sanitizers to frontline medical workers to ensure they can continue to provide critical care to people in need. Additionally, we provided counselling, mental and emotional support to families affected by the lockdown through 49,000 phone-based counselling sessions.
With daily COVID19 cases crossing the grim milestone of 300,000, our work is far from done. Our public health system has been stretched beyond its capacity with numerous states falling short of health infrastructure and equipment ranging from oxygen supplies to ventilators. Moreover, families with no income due to lockdown are at the risk of malnutrition and need urgent nutritional support. We need to collectively address this emergency.
We are working on providing oxygen concentrators, ventilators and other necessary equipment to hospitals, providing PPE and hygiene kits to medical workers and families in need, supplying dry ration to families affected by the lockdown and support them through weekly phone-based counselling session. Urgent funds are needed for this. All our on-ground work has been possible with the support of patrons and donors like you and we know that in this fight we cant count on your continuous support.
