COVID-19 Emergency Food Project

Already 1’000 food packages distributed.

Usthi was able to distribute 1’000 food packages to single mother families of our children in the Back-to-School program and tuition center program. Because of your valuable support the diet of our children and their single mother are ensured till the first week of May.

Hyderabad has just announced to extend the Lock Down to the end of May 2020. Therefore, we have to continue with food distribution. Please help our Usthi children and mothers to overcome these difficult times with your donation. We do hope for a change of the Government measures in June.

Usthi will shortly report in detail on the COVID-19 emergency aid in the programs in India.
