Mahita responds to Covid 19

 

The Coronavirus outbreak is affecting all of us, but only some of us have access to essential services, hygiene facilities, and the safety of our homes. Thousands of marginalised families in Adilabad, Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Vikarabad, and Sanga Reddy Districts in Telangana State are more vulnerable to this health crisis because of lack of quality public health care and sanitation facilities. Migrant families are facing severe problems in terms of getting food/ration. The lockdown in the State of Telangana due to Coronavirus has adversely affected lakhs of daily wage earners, migrant families, construction workers, and other slum dwellers, and so on, who have no means of income to feed their families for this long lockdown period.

Mahita Response:

In these difficult circumstances and challenging times, it is essential that we show solidarity and come forward to help the ones in need and care. Mahita initiated a campaign to support the migrant construction families and other needy people to provide the Dry Ration and other safety kits in its working areas of Adilabad, Nalgonda, and Hyderabad.

SO FAR REACHED:

Adilabad                                  :   715 Families

Yadadri                                    :   450 Families

Hyderabad                                :   235 Families

 

What we have done:

  • Dry Ration, Vegetables and Health Hygiene kit for each Family which sustain them for 2 weeks
  • Nutrition Food and Biscuits to the Migrant Labourers
  • Water and cocked food supply
  • Started to provide the appropriate information to Youth Members, Religious and CSOs on Dos and Don’ts during the lockdown period.
