Life for our Children, young adults, employees and local partners gets more and more dramatic.

All Usthi programmes in India and Nepal are closed down. Excluded from the taken actions, that are enforced by the police, are the Usthi Hospital and young adults, which have no family connections at all.

Living conditions of the 200 children of our “Back-to-school” project and the more than 300 children, that get help at our “Tuition Center”, have dramatically changed. Their single mothers have lost their income as day laborers. After more than two weeks they are suffering from hunger, struggling for their lives.

Our local partners show innovative spirit, distributing food packages, which provide a three persons’ survival for ten days. One food package costs 15 Swiss Francs (one Swiss Franc and fifty Cents per day). We hope to be able to repeat such a distribution of food packages after ten days. However, we are not able to do so a second time without your help, dear Usthi-friends. Please help us!

Dramatic scenes are taking place on the streets in India every day. Hundreds of thousands of day laborers are leaving urban areas by foot, returning home to their rural villages, sometimes hundreds of kilometers away. Train and bus services are no longer available. The slowly moving fugitives are suffering from hunger and exhaustion. Food packages are distributed here too by Usthi as long as possible.

The insecurity of our future is also in Switzerland very big. However, we ask everyone, which can afford it, to help us with the distribution of food. Each package makes a difference and relieves hunger!

Thank you very much for your solidarity.
