The Indian government’s lockdowns have been especially hard on poor migrant workers and day laborers in India’s slums and villages. These breadwinners are so poor that if they don’t work one day, their families don’t eat the next. They are living hand-to-mouth, facing food shortages due to the lingering pandemic and resulting government lockdowns.

The survival of the families we are reaching in the slums and rural villages is critically dependent upon the food ration kits now being distributed by SevaChild – which has volunteers working tirelessly to provide relief to families in thirteen of India’s hardest-hit states. Over 7,000 families have already received rations through yourgenerous donations and the assistance of our network of Indian volunteers and partnering organizations.

In addition to food, SevaChild ration kits include sanitary pads, hand sanitizer, and masks.
