Thank you for your continued support, especially during these uncertain and ever-changing times. I'm writing with an update from our project partners on the ground, delivering relief resources to communities in slums who are affected by the lockdown and the harsh environment they are in.
The work undertaken so far includes conducting phone surveys of people's needs, visiting government offices for information and police departments/stations to get permission for the relief work to continue to go ahead. Groceries are being purchased to alleviate immediate hunger and we are reaching out to tribal communities in the vacinity who are also in need.
Last week we gave funds directly for food supplies, hygiene kits and to promote effective health awareness with approximately 2500 hostel student families, migrant workers and tribal communities in the area around Amaravati.
While we remain commited to our focus on education, gender equality and dignified livelihoods, in this time of urgent need we are providing crisis relief. If you'd like to support our urgent appeal, please visit www.globalgiving.org/projects/karuna-coronavirus-appeal/
Wishing you and those close to you well.
Warm wishes and gratitude,
Erika Narkiewicz
