Following the lockdowns in India and Nepal in the spring of 2020, GoodWeave began connecting and strategizing to provide protection and relief to our worker communities. GoodWeave's grassroots presence enabled us to give direct food aid, provide livelihood and hygiene aid, create a secure flow of information, and improve workers' financial literacy.

  • 1411 food packets distributed
  • 10,000 masks distributed
  • 83,000 strong network of workers with reliable information about Covid-19
  • 800 workers trained in financial literacy

Our focus on children remains strong. GoodWeave has supported continued education of vulnerable children in producer communities, and developed curriculum which can be disseminated to children via mobile messaging. Over 5,600 children are now enrolled.

We're proud of the work we've accomplished, and we know there's a lot more to do. We hope you continue supporting our work. Learn more about GoodWeave on our website goodweave.org.
