Thank you for your continued support, particularly at a time that is so challenging for our global community. I'm writing with an update from our partner's at this project, with some details of the effects of the coronavirus outbreak and subsequent lockdown in India.
Since lockdown began, our partners have been providing lunch and dinner daily to students and their families in the Brick Kilns. The community there are of course migrant labourers, who are now stuck - unable to return to their home villages. With nothing else to do, and stuck on the site, most of them are still working, but have no access to food. It is therefore essential that these families continue to be provided with the resources to survive.
While we remain committed to our three focuses of education, gender equality and dignified livelihoods it is the immediate relief of the effects of the coronavirus that is needed in the most marginalised communities at present.
We will continue to send you updates and if you would like to support the our appeal to respond to the effects of the coronavirus in India and Nepal please visit www.globalgiving.org/projects/karuna-coronavirus-appeal/
With warm wishes and gratitude,
