This is an update to firstly thank you for your generosity, and outline just how much it has helped us to continue our support, to those who have been deeply affected by the Covid-19 Crisis.
In 2021, Karuna made emergency grants to 35 partner organizations enabling them to respond to the most urgent needs from the most vulnerable communities.
Grants were used to provide vital food and medical supplies directly to an estimated 120,000 people from Covid affected families. Our partners with their already well-established networks among the most disadvantaged communities were able to make sure that the aid reached those in most acute need.
Many more people benefitted from this emergency work. One of our partners provided PPE equipment to 300 frontline medical workers who in turn provided medical care to 300,000 people from Covid affected rural communities .They ran awareness camps to encourage and support people from marginalised communities to access medical treatment and prevention.
Another partner ran a helpline service to help unemployed manual labourers access desperately needed government welfare schemes, and was able to extend this support to 98,000 migrant labourers , helping an astonishing 490,000 family members!
Now, we are looking to support people in repairing their lives that was completely shattered by the impact of Covid-19. Your help allowed us to raise vital funds in 2020-21 and mid-way through 2022 they are still as important and urgent as ever.
Our core focuses are Education for all, Dignified Livelihoods and Gender Equality.
This is at the heart of our charity but also at the centre of this project, as we adapt to the changing landscape of the pandemic and how best to improve the lives of those who need it most.
Thank you.
