Dear Esteemed Donors,
Greetings to you from Health Education Adoption Rehabilitation Development Society (HEARDS) - India!
I hope this email finds you and your family well. From March 21, 2020 COVID-19, hitting hundreds of people in Chittoor was out of work due to lockdown and all the businesses were closed. Hundreds are now out of work, facing the potential threat of sickness through COVID-19, or hunger as so many families fall into deep poverty. The livelihood of these daily wage earners has been adversely affected and due to little to no preparedness, they have no food rations for the coming days. This project has provided nutritional support to 100 families of daily wage earners who reside in urban slums.
In order to mitigate the direct effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during the lockdown HEARDS has decided to issue free grocery items for each family who is facing a panic situation during this lockdown. The goal is to deliver provision items to help families in isolated communities face the quarantine and make it through the COVID19 crisis.
HEARDS provides nutritional, educational, and health support to starving children and their families in the wake of this pandemic. The community is spreading awareness within each other and practicing social distancing. HEARDS is also involving parents of the children in emergency preparedness for disaster mitigation for nutrition and medical support.
The project will secure the hunger of 107 children from these 100 families without them experiencing the worst of this pandemic, and providing for their current nutritional support. I am hereby sending you the youtube link of the video for your kind perusal.
Right now, we are doing everything possible to sustain daily operations and provide services to our community. While there is a lot of uncertainty, we know that we need to adapt fast to our changing reality. Now, more than ever, our community needs us. Moreover, we need you.
Wishing you, and your family all the best in safety and health.
With warm regards,
Mr. Kuriyakose Sajan
