Dear Donors and Well Wishers,
Greetings!!
We trust this report finds you in Good Health and Spirit. We all know hunger is worst form of human rights violation. To get two time meal is basic human rights, and this right is associated with right to life. We all experienced Covid 19 pandemic, but this pandemic has affected people with disabilities badly, mainly those people with disabilities who were into small business, lives were compeltely depending on daily earnings. Their financial conditions are compeltely deterioted. To support such families of people with disabilities, and stop them to get into begging, Ration Kits support program has been launched since first day of Lockdown in India.
We wish to share story of change Anita.
Hi, I am Anita, I am polio survival, I am from very small town of Gujarat, I have two kids. The first two weeks of lockdown was very terryfying, we were not sure that we would get two times meal. It was complete lock down, the neighbors also migrated to native villages. We were scared, whatever small savings we had, used for survival, she said. The items that I had for business, I sold it out very cheap price. I lost my business. I lost hope, and even thought to end life with two kids. But, I was contacted by Staff of Blind People's Association. The staff gave me Ration Kits which was enough for three months, they gave me their contact number too. When the ration kits was over, I called them they provided me at doorstep. I felt that God has sent their messanger to look after my kids. I thank them and donors who doanted for this nobel work.
Gradually, I started my business, this ration kits keeps me motiviating to do business beacuse I was sure that if I had no earning in day, I have food for my kids, she added. Now, my business does well, I am self reliant again. But I must say this support has stopped me to enter in Begging.
The stop Hunger Project has reached out 32000+ lives of pepople with disabilities in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Odhisa. We request you to support this project hence no soul sleeps hungry. We are committed to reachout such poor families of people with disabilities to provide them meal support.
Thanking you
With Best Wishes
