Great solidarity with India

Usthi is very grateful for the great solidarity with the hard-hit people in India. A large number of donations for the covid emergency relief have already made it possible to distribute 300 more food packages in the last few days.

At the end of April, the Usthi Foundation again launched an emergency aid campaign to support the people in the current Corona crisis in India. In the last few days, Usthi has been receiving a large number of generous donations for the emergency relief. Usthi is impressed by the great solidarity.

Thanks to the support of Usthi donors, another 300 food packages have already been distributed to families in need. The packets were distributed to migrant workers and single mothers, who could no longer feed themselves and their families. Many single women have either lost their direct income or are suddenly on their own due to the death of their husband. For them, every contribution is of great importance.

For the distribution of the food aid, Usthi’s partner organisation in Hyderabad is supported by volunteers. Thus, the distribution was done in nine teams, each consisting of three to four local employees and volunteers. Usthi’s partner organisation is also well networked with other aid organisations. The regular exchange helps to coordinate the emergency relief operations and avoid overlaps.

Usthi is hoping to be able to continue providing urgently needed aid in the upcoming weeks. We thank you very much for your trust in the Usthi Foundation and your great solidarity.

Access to the labor market and to fairly paid jobs is marked by glaring inequalities: women in […]
