The first phase of the rescue actions (link video and news) was started in a context of absolute emergency. We provided gloves, masks, and basic nutrition (rice, dhal/ lentils, oil, spices) for the slums and some other shelters in Vijayawada, Hyderabad and in the tribal areas of the north.
Then we started in the slums of Vijayawada – where the situation continues to be chaotic and worrying, with entire families forced to stay at home with the pantry empty – the second phase delivering nutritional and protein support (link videos and news).
Since May 20, 2020 we have started the third phase or Orphan Security Program, given the extension of the lockdown. To 150 orphaned children of one or both parents we give a 31kg food pack to cover the most basic needs. Each pack or kit has a cost of 50 euros – link to donate now.
