Ashray as an organisation has a history of working for Saltpan workers and is very well aware of their living conditions. Agariyas work for fulfilling 75% of the country’s salt demand & they live in such drastic conditions where basic amenities are not available. It is a region where a cellphone has reached but the basic necessities have not found their way.
Since they are seasonal migrant labourers and there are no permanent establishments so they live in kutcha houses where chilly winds can pass through easily.
Ashray means “Shelter”. #BeAnAshray- A campaign through which this winter Ashray pledged to provide the Agariyas with blankets so that they can be saved from these winds.
Blanket Donation Campaign was conducted on all our social media platforms to collect Blankets and winter wear for the Saltpan workers community.Through this campaign we received large quantity of Blankets and woolen clothes.We were able to provide blankets to women and children of 100 households.
