Namaste Everyone!
We all hope here at People First that this report finds you well.
Here in India, we are happy to report that the vaccination programme is now going quite well. But the effects of Covid continue to affect the poor in Bihar.
As you know our programme includes interventions on a number of different levels...
Medical assistance
Facilitating vaccinations for the poor and vulnerable
Economic help including loans for new small-scale businesses like local shops or food vendors.
Help with accessing government help (very often the poor and vulnerable don’t have the skills to process and follow through applications)
Emergency food help for extremely poor families struggling to feed their children
Due to your help, we have been able to continue these vitally important programmes and reach out to hundreds of people. Here’s what one beneficiary had to say...
“People First have helped us so much... we got help when my husband was ill and unable to work. they provided oxygen and I m sure he would have survived without their help.
But when he recovered, they found good work for him through their employment assistance programme and at the very worst of times when my children were so hungry, they provided food. They continue to help to this day making sure we are ok and helping us get some government assistance for our children.
Thank you all so much for helping us”.
