Video report on Usthi emergency relief

In the context of virtual celebrations of National Day 2020, the Swiss Embassy reported on the second Usthi emergency relief operation made possible by the Embassy. Usthi has produced a video for this occasion. 

After Usthi had already provided emergency relief in Hyderabad, a financial contribution from the Swiss Embassy in India made it possible to further distribute food to families of the schoolchildren of the two Usthi schools in Ananda and Penthakata. Over 700 families received food aid.

On this occasion, the Embassy also reported on the emergency relief operations it had supported. For this event, Usthi produced a video in which Executive Director Alessandra Grosse and our project partner Ratan Barik report on the situation on site.
