The lock down imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the lives of everyone, especially the poorest people such as Dalits and tribals. The ensuing financial crisis has left these people in even more precarious conditions.
Faced with this emergency situation, Amar Jyoti has mobilised to help the poorest, thanks to the support of the CIAO KIDS Foundation. The NGO distributed food aid kits, particularly to migrant workers, the homeless and the most needy. These ration kits included rice, potatoes, oil and salt as well as other dry foods and soap. During the coldest months, blankets and warm clothes were also distributed. Setting up such a distribution required considerable organisation to meet the standards of social distancing and Amar Jyoti was very efficient. The whole team was very committed to the task.
Amar Jyoti also identified 10 families who were supported to set up an income generating activity.
Thanks to the generosity of CIAO KIDS Foundation donors, Amar Jyoti was able to provide exceptional emergency food and medical aid to 5,200 people in Jharkhand.
Our goal is to provide for the basic needs of the poorest families.
