Covid- 19 support , Dry ration support to underprivileged ultra poor families.

In the first phase, the organisation with the support of donors/organisation has distributed dry ration to 941 families, who are mostly migrants with difficult conditions. These beneficiaries include various types such as PWDs, economically backgrounds, destitute on account of lockdown etc. But the support was extended to a limited number of families. There are still many such vulnerable families who need such type of support at this point in time. The present proposition is one such measure of expanding the services to selected families who are the worst sufferer of the Lockdown and COVID.

PROPOSITION: To support dry ration of one month to around 400 families spread in villages of five blocks in two districts. The beneficiaries are selected from high concertation pockets of migrant labour in the blocks. This includes an average of five villages from each block of Raigarh and Mahasamund district.

SELECTION CRITERIA The selection of the beneficiaries from the villages are made with the following criterion based on which preferences will be given

• Migrant destitute families ( BPL)

• Poor family with pregnant women

• Poor family with malnourished children

• Poor families with disabled persons as their member

Relevance of the support: The dry ration support will help them to take care of the fooding requirement for at least one month. Within this one month, the family will get some space to arrange some livelihood options for their members. This ration will help them relief from the unwanted mental pressure of basic fooding facilities to the family.
