Respected Donor,
Greetings from SERUDS
Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh – India has been in lock down since 25 March to control Covid-19 pandemic, causing mass layoffs and heavy job losses. Millions of desperate migrant workers, particularly daily-wage earners, facing starvation after losing jobs are fleeing cities on foot to return to their villages. Help promised by state governments in terms of cash transfers and free ration kit distribution has not reached many sections, due to the sheer numbers involved and lack of ration cards with migrant guest workers.
SERUDS in one of the leading ngos providing relief during covid-19 in Andhra Pradesh. SERUDS is providing cooked meals and grocery kits to the poor and jobless daily wage workers across Kurnool district.
Following are some of the relief works undertaken by us since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic :
1. Distribution of ration kit to slum dwellers and daily wage workers in and around Kurnool. So far 600 grocery kits consisting of Rice, Toor Dal, Cooking Oil, Ata, Salt, Tamarind, Bathing & Detergent Soaps, Handwash, Spices each kit worth Rs. 2000, have been distributed.
2. Distribution of cooked meals. Around 2200 meals have been distributed so far.
3. Distribution of cloth masks and sanitizers. Around 1200 sets have been distributed so far.
We have been providing relief without any support from the government, and are supported solely by donors.
