Coronavirus: Rebuild Lives in India and Nepal

The coronavirus pandemic continues to be unpredictable across the world. The major effect of the coronavirus pandemic has been the Shadow Pandemic. Named by the UN, it recognises the widening gender inequality and increasing poverty due to the pandemic. 10 million girls are at risk of dropping out of school- with trafficking and child marriage rates skyrocketing due to increased financial strain.

The need during the pandemic is not lessening, just changing. We are ready to meet the changing needs at this stage of the pandemic and to support marginalised communities who otherwise get left behind. 

Your support is helping us to action a 5 point COVID recovery plan to:

• Prevent school drop-out, especially amongst girls
• Rebuild livelihoods devastated by the pandemic
• Working with migrant labourers to help them access their rights
• Continuing and intensifying our work to end violence against women
• Continuing to be vigilant with the possibility of coronavirus resurgence in the region and to support preventative measures such as vaccination programmes

Regular support to this work is invaluable, as medium to long-term recovery is fragile and requires commitment.

Thank you for continuing to support us through these times.
