We all recall the terrifying outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in December 2019, which caused the world to come to a halt through lockdowns, social distancing, job losses, pay cuts, travel restrictions, mask mandates, hand sanitizing, quarantines, and a rising death toll. Soon after, India was severely affected, with the implementation of the first phase of the national lockdown in March 2020. The country’s economy took a massive hit, and each of us experienced the impact in some way. However, the most vulnerable groups were the homeless and daily wage workers. We saw a growing number of destitute people on the streets, struggling without access to food and with no one to help them due to Covid restrictions. Moved by compassion for these individuals, we began our outreach program, initially providing basic resources like biscuits and cakes to feed 20 people daily.
We received support from like-minded friends and families, enabling us to organize a drive that distributed buns and cooked meals to over 10,000 people by the end of 2021. Additionally, we provided blankets and jackets to the destitute living on the streets during the winter season.
In Bangalore, we supported 100 HIV patients by supplying essential items such as toiletries, moisturizers, and sanitary products. In Tamil Nadu, we had the opportunity to assist 100 leprosy patients by providing them with staple food ration bags.
Through a corporate CSR program, we sponsored the education of 70 children. We also distributed staple food ration bags to 500 families and supported 80 residents in an old-age home with cooked meals.
By 2024, we extended our contributions to several charitable institutions by donating sofas, chairs, carpets, speakers, and musical instruments.
Our Mission for the Future
We are embarking on an inspiring journey to establish a shelter home, healthcare facilities, and a catering service to support destitute individuals living on the streets. Additionally, we aim to build a school for underprivileged children, ensuring access to quality education and scholarships that can transform their futures.
We remain committed to supporting vulnerable groups, such as daily wage workers, through our Staple Food Ration Bag Program.
Your continued support and prayers are vital in making these dreams a reality, providing dignity and hope to those in need. As the saying goes, “There is greater happiness in giving than in receiving.”
