Respond & Relief to COVID-19 TamilNadu,India

During the last three months since October to December 2021 we have involved in the activities that were related to mitigating the suffering of the sections of the communities due to the Covid caused lockdown and other problems.

The children of the villages here have been at the receiving end in many ways since the outbreak of the pandemic COVID 19. The schools remain shut for a fairly long time denying the children their educational needs and physical needs.

Similarly, there were quite a number of families that had lost their bread winners to the delta variant of covid infection during the period. And the families of the unorganized sector suffered severe loss of livelihoods. And SPPD involved in the interventions supporting these families and the children.

As many as 1500 children belonging to our villages had been receiving monthly nutrition kits. The nutrition kits comprised of items like nutritional mix, dates, pulses, pigeon peas, green peas etc. And similarly, as many as 70 livelihood lost families of our villages received dry grocery kits that would last for well over a month. These dry food kits consisted of items like, rice, wheat, pulses sugar, edible oil, tealeaves etc and worth Rs. 3000/-.  

This apart, as one of the most important interventions during the period 21 families who had lost their bread winners due to covid received solatium of Rs.30000/- . All the above-mentioned interventions could be carried out by us with the support from Give India. We thank all the donors for this noble support.

With the Omicron and Delta variants of the Covid threatening to cause damages to lives and livelihoods of vulnerable individuals and communities in the new year too, it appears that such support only can help the affected communities withstand the onslaught of the pandemic.
