In Nepal millions more fell into poverty in the year 2020/2021 because of the pandemic induced economic recession. Poor people are living on $ 2,- or less daily! Our target groups, Widows/single Mothers/Grandmother’s with dependent children are day laborers and they live literally from the hand to the mouth. “No work is synonymous to no food”!
These women and their children find themselves on the lowest rung of the social ladder without any support or social net and always prawn to worst forms of exploitation and abuse. Despair is driving many of them to commit suicide; this is a shocking and sad reality during this terrible pandemic!
Trafficking of girls and young women into the sex-trade too has increased considerably during these times and as an organization that has as the main objective “the prevention of worst forms of violence and abuse”, this is an appalling effect of the new, Covid-19 induced poverty!
During these difficult/challenging times “Bahini-Educare-Foundation” stepped up and increased their support for the most vulnerable”.
For many we were able to prevent food-insecurity, the most painful sting that poverty can inject! Moreover we provided indispensible items for hygiene, healthcare and prevention of infections.
In the past 3 months Bahini Educare Foundation has supported around 75 families that are belonging to our target groups with the following supplies:
Each family received:
a) Rice 25 kgs
b) Lentils 2 kgs
c) Salt 1 kg
d) Sugar 1 kg
e) Cooking oil 2 litres
f) Grams 2 kgs
g) Soyabean 2 kgs
h) Spices 500 gms
i) Biscuits 2 dozen
j) Soaps ( 2 bathing/ 2 washing)
Along with this, our nurse is providing Covid-19 awareness’ and safety lessons for the mother and the children with instructions for proper hygiene and the prevention of the infection with the virus.
In the times to come we will face an uphill battle! But we have the determination and we are inspired to up the ante and with your HELP we can do!
No one is more worthy of our support and for our beneficiaries this is making all the difference. The hopeless find hope again and they are encouraged to continue their battle for survival.
Namaste!
Sincerely yours
Surendra& TEAM
