Extending A Helping Hand To Those In Need

By Atul Lekhra | Programme Incharge

Dear Friend,

Thank you so much for your support to Seva Mandir and to the rural communities of southern Rajasthan. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating- millions of people lost their income sources and came into extreme poverty. Without the means to earn an income, many are unable to feed themselves and their families.

Your generosity helped us focus on the immediate needs of the people during this period of need and is now helping us in creating livelihood opportunities for the rural people. The average per capita income here is only Rs. 50 ($0.70) so creating new livelihood opportunities for people is very important.

It’s the time for solidarity and support, especially with the most vulnerable in our societies. Seva Mandir is committed to pooling its expertise and experience to support these communities in this crisis time. We are developing long-term sustainable strategies to address these challenges and also working on holistic rural development programmes. We are expanding livelihood opportunities through multiple ways.

This all certainly has not been possible without your support. We greatly appreciate your trust in Seva Mandir and for supporting our project.

Thank you so much. Stay safe and well.

Best Regards,

Atul Lekhra & the Seva Mandir Team

Helping and Supporting Rural Communities in Need

By Atul Lekhra | Programme Incharge

Dear Friend,

Thank you so much for your support to Seva Mandir and to the rural communities of southern Rajasthan. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and livelihoods. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating- millions of people lost their income sources and came into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people increased. Without the means to earn an income, many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For most, no income means no food.

Your generosity helped us focus on the immediate needs of the people. Seva Mandir responded to the situation by undertaking the Covid Relief Work for the community which is hard hit by the pandemic.

Last Year, with the support from friends like you we had distributed 52,200 kits (Sanitation Kits 37800, Sanitary Pads 2500, Food Kits 3200, Storage Kits 4200, Safety Kits 4500).

This year our approach was different and was not only on only distributing kits. In the second phase we reached 415 villages and our awareness outreach was 2.3 lakh people, we reached 978 covid affected families, a total of 2910 food kits; 3880 sanitation kits; 678 safety kits; 64 monitoring kits were distributed. Additionally, oxygen concentrators are also being provided at the “local” Community Health Centers.

We are also developing long-term sustainable strategies to address these challenges and also working on holistic rural development programmes.

This all certainly has not been possible without your support. We greatly appreciate your trust in Seva Mandir and for supporting our project. Your support is helping us in making changes in the lives of hundreds of people in need.

Thank you so much. Stay safe and well.

Warm regards,
Atul Lekhra & the Seva Mandir Team
