FOUNDER I EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SPEAK I Krupalatha Martin Dass
The COVID-19 Pandemic changed the way we lived everyday. Schools closed and parents had no jobs. Our children and families struggled for basic needs. Most of our children are first generation learners and their parents are migrant daily wage workers. During the lockdown their only source of income being their daily wage disappeared, disabling them to provide food for their families. We were quite concerned about the family's food situation.
We wanted to help, so WE LAUNCHED TWO NEW INITIATIVES
We thank all our donors for their generosity in supporting SUKRUPA to distribute the first round of Groceries, Vegetables, Snacks and Stationaries for a full month to 270 families
“No school in our neighbourhood has taken this initiative, and the food items we received is
going to help us for a month, this support really means so much to my family.
- Parent
“We thank SUKRUPA for providing us with all the necessary food items. We didn’t expect so much, we got everything we needed in the food package”.
- Parent
SUKRUPA Office Team
Team SUKRUPA came forward from the first day of the lockdown and systematically started calling the parents, seamlessly shifted the work process as a call centre and daily online meetings. SuMargadarshak college students who are part of scholarship and mentoring at SUKRUPA stepped up for the occasion by volunteering their time and knowledge to engage the school children by creating WhatsApp class groups, sending out activities each day that they could do with their family and siblings and post the pictures and videos. They then downloaded and shared the compiled videos.
"It was the hard work of Krupa Aunty to get us all connected to work on this project. I enjoyed working with my friends and my seniors. It was wonderful encouraging each other and sharing our ideas".
- SuMargadarshak Student
"It’s really a wonderful opportunity to work on this project, connecting with children and their families. Working with my team taught me lessons for a life time.

“I’m very happy when I see my daughter doing activities at home, it helps her to bring out her talents and keeps her busy. It’s really a well design program” - Parent
"My daughter eagerly waits for the activities from school, she really enjoys a lot as both her brothers help her out doing it. - Parent
