Action Against HUNGER

Pandemic Effect in India

India is grappling with a deadly COVID-19 outbreak. More than 200,000 people have died due to a second coronavirus surge in India and hundreds of thousands of people are infected each day. Many are unable to get the medical help they need. Donations to this fund will help treat patients and slow the spread of COVID-19 in India.

More resources are needed now to respond to the outbreak in India, which has stretched the country's healthcare system to its limit. There is not enough space in hospitals to help everyone in need, and life-saving supplies, such as oxygen and ventilators, are in short supply. Thousands of people are at risk of being left to die without help.

While the nation has been affected by the Coronavirus crisis and is observing a lockdown, millions have been stranded with no food and shelter. Amidst these challenging times, ISKCON, with the support of its donors and well-wishers, has been striving to feed the low-income families, daily-wage laborers and migrant workers through its temples and affiliate foundations in the country. The message of ISKCON’s Founder-Acharya Srila Prabhupada who envisioned that no one within a 10-mile radius of its center should go hungry is even truer in today’s context.

The Coronavirus pandemic is serious and social distancing is a necessary component to help limit its spread yet at the same time for millions of people food insecurity is a much more serious issue since they cannot afford to stock up on food supplies.

To address this challenge, every day hundreds of monks and volunteers prepare fresh and nutritious meals that are hygienically cooked following all the health regulations as instructed by the state and the central government. The entire process from the procurement of raw materials to distribution is done in partnership with the local government officials and agencies.

ISKCON and its affiliate foundations would like to thank the governments, donors, volunteers, and well-wishers for helping us play our part in combating COVID-19.

TOTAL MEAL SERVED

ISKCON’s kitchens in cities, towns and remote villages have together served more than 7 crore meals and food kits to the less-privileged sections of our society amidst the lock down and the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though the offices and industries have resumed, the economic and social impact is severe for many people who still need our support and assistance.

While the challenges are enormous, they can be overcome by the collective effort of each one of us and requires your whole-hearted support.

Please come forward and donate generously (all donations are tax exempted under 80G).
