Amartya & Agastya's Fundraiser for Habitat For Hum

About the initiative:

The pandemic has engulfed the entire world. Rapid spread and lack of vaccines has made it difficult to curtail the disease.  As Lockdown 5.0 begins, the total number of confirmed Coronavirus cases in India is over 7 lakhs according to the latest data from the Ministry of Health. Our heart goes out to the millions of families in the country who still lack the essential items required for survival amidst the national lockdown.

Habitat for Humanity India is supporting families and individuals living in vulnerable conditions with no safety net by providing them with essential goods and hygiene items.  Habitat’s Hygiene Kits and Family Essentials Kits provide families with essential goods which meet their basic needs. Currently, Habitat India has served 6,96,506 individuals with a total of 1,78,769 Kits distributed to the people who are battling the phase of lockdown across the country.

However, the need is immense. There are daily wage labourers, slum dwellers, people living in slums and other distressed communities who need your help.  Many of them are starving. Even though the Government is taking commendable measures to reach out to the vulnerable families, the need is immense.

What Habitat For Humanity is doing to help?

Habitat for Humanity India has stepped in to sensitise and raise awareness on the importance of hygiene and sanitation through our WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) program.

As the country implements unprecedented measures amidst the global health emergency, they are supporting families and individuals by providing them with family essential kits and hygiene kits.

To practice caution, Habitat for Humanity India is not deploying their staff on ground but is working in partnership with state governments, local government administrations or government agencies.

Our collective action can save lives!

Habitat India will join hands with local District/Block/Village level authorities to spread awareness. Habitat will leverage on its local office and implementation partners who in turn will engage with the health network of the local authorities to coordinate with CBOs, SHGs and local organisations to identify community workers.

Keeping in view the guidelines released by the Central Government and State Governments, we will not be organising any mass gatherings. As much as they wish to be on the ground to help, the best thing to do now is to follow the guidelines laid down by authorities and support them through all possible means.

Work done and the families supported:

They have provided family and hygiene kits in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Delhi. With your support, they can expand their relief kits to all the needy families.

Please donate generously and share this campaign with your family and friends to raise maximum funds.
