Rice/Lentils for Covid19
Affected Families
$18 to purchase a life-saving package!
Many of you gave to help us during India’s lockdown last year, but as most of you know the country is in another devastating wave of Covid19. They have been in lockdown again for a few weeks and the Prime Minister has now extended it again. We know this is what is needed for the country to take care of itself, but it’s difficult for us at Rescue Pink to face.
Most of our girls parents are daily wage earners. They don’t have food storage or refrigeration. They wake up each day, go find a job for the day, take what they earn and buy whatever food they can for the day to survive, and then go to bed and wake up the next day to repeat.
So another extended lockdown has caused a severe issue with trying to access food again for our sweet girls and their families, and our pregnancy & lactating women. So we humbly come to you asking for your help again.
We’ve had many obstacles to overcome the last few days, but through our partnerships we’ve figured out a way to get food to our families. For $18, you can purchase a 22lb bag of rice, a big bag of Toor Dal (Lentils for protein), and spices and oil to cook with & make curries for the rice. Will you join us in literally rescuing our girls and our moms today?
Here’s a report of what you accomplished with your giving last year. Thank you so much for helping sustain our women & girls through this terrible pandemic.
We are grateful that our work has been able to pivot well during the pandemic. Our staff are visiting the girls at their homes to work with them personally, and they are called multiple times a week for counseling and assignments to keep them engaged while out of school. Our pregnancy & lactating women’s programs have moved to the villages, outdoors, and many of our women entrepreneurs were able to pivot their work to meet the immediate needs of the community to help continue to sustain their businesses.
