COVID 19 EMERGENCY FUND for Nandri Mothers

Nandri and the The Tamil Nadu government are working  tirelessly to ensure the safety of our families from Covid.  Nandri has taken significant steps and implemented various protocols to protect our people since the start of the pandemic.

Efforts by Nandri to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 Amongst Mothers and their families:

 Nandri distributed 5,000 masks for people to wear in public, particularly indoors or when maintaining physical distance was not possible.

 Nandri organized 100 vaccination camps in Kolappalur village to ensure everyone was vaccinated and able to lead a safe life.

 Nandri also conducted COVID-19 awareness rallies in nearby villages every six months.

 We educated our families on the importance of getting vaccinated when it's your turn and to follow local guidance regarding vaccinations.

 Remember to cover your nose and mouth with your elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

 Stay home if you feel unwell.

 Frequently clean your hands, using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Livelihood Support for Nandri Mothers:

Every month, Nandri selects five mothers from economically disadvantaged backgrounds who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. They provide financial support through an Income Generation Program, encouraging these mothers to lead successful and happy lives. Unfortunately, there is concern that a fourth wave of the virus is spreading rapidly in large cities like Chennai and Bangalore.

Tragically, 30 members of the Nandri self-help groups have succumbed to the virus. Nandri offers comfort to the bereaved families and provides financial help with funerals, money for food and necessities at this very difficult time in their lives.  

We at Nandri would like to thank you for your financial support, which helps us to continue this vital work for our Nandri families.
