The Pandemic has not over yet...

By Jignesh Christi | Project Leader

Dear Well-wishers,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch.

As we all are aware about the current situation of pandemic in India. We can say that it has not affected much to the middle class and upper class people in the society. But largely affected to the lower class and specially living in the city slum or interior villages who are depending on the daily wages. The poor are becoming poorer day by day in this situation. That is the reason why GVT has started feeding the slums and rural community.

Working in the slums and rural community, GVT has observed that these communities are really facing bad time, as they have lost their temporary jobs, the wages have cut down or not called every day for the job. So it is really difficult for them to manage their daily food. The migrant people are forced to visit their natives, but the same situation has emerged there also so they are not moving to their natives. Women who were going for the household work in the city areas are also not allowed for the work due to safety reasons. So overall the financial crisis is seen in these families.

Looking at this situation GVT is trying to feed by some rations to these families, so that they can at least have some healthy food every day. A kit of rations is provided to these families which can be feed a family for at least a month. GVT is also supporting by giving some face mask to this families, which is made by our health leaders in different villages. These masks are distributed free, as these community are not able to afford to by the same.

GVT is supported by different well-wishers in this noble cause. And through their helping hand we are able to reach out to them. While working in this areas we are finding more people who really need support and we are trying our best to help them. As a team of GVT we request you to help in this noble cause to support at least one family, so that they can face this critical time.

Food grains for Life

By Jignesh Christi | Project Leader

Dear well-wishers,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch.

The world has started again, from many months all of us were stuck into our homes, but once again all of us getting back to the work or some of us are still working from home due to the pandemic. The middle class and upper class of the society have somehow managed in this crisis situation due to lack of job, or may be a little or no increment. Many financial crisis we might have faced and still facing.

But the poor or lower class of the society has not much highlighted during this crisis situation, who are the most affected people of our society. The laborers, daily wage earners, hawkers and other small skilled laborers have stopped earning from months, and due to this they do not able to cook a single day meal in their houses.

In Bharuch city only, many slums areas are there and they have been supported with some of the food materials with the help of some generous people around us. In lockdown also our warriors have not stopped by providing support to the needy one. Many migrants were stuck, they did not find any ways to go back to their natives and all the money have been finished in other expenses. So the need is now for the food, which they heavily needed as they were also not able to understand the situation which has arisen.

Migrant laborers, daily wages earners and many more are still getting support from Gram Vikas Trust, from April-20 onwards. Till date thousands of the families have received the food packets which can help the family to cook for almost a month. We have reached to the villages also, with the support from our local volunteers and supported the families who really need this.

The new normal has started but still many slums and village people are still jobless, they do not able to survive. Let us come together and help them out by our simple gesture of donating some amount of money, which can someone life.
