Project Chhaaya - Covid Orphan Relief

Since the second wave of COVID-19 hit, over 5.26 lakh people in India lost their lives to the virus. Reports of children being left alone following the untimely demise of their parents due to the pandemic started pouring in from all corners of the country. With the support of donors like you, we were able to support more than 300 such children across the country who lost their parents during COVID-19, in continuing their education.

With both Centre and State governments taking initiatives to support these children, many of them were linked with welfare schemes. However, there are still 160 such children who would require support for at least another six months. These children are identified by state governments and district administrations and the list has been shared with Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation, seeking support. 

KSCF aims to support 160 identified children in need of care for another six months before they are mainstreamed by linkage with government schemes and other welfare schemes.

As little as Rs. 2,000 a month can help a child in need to continue education and meet his/her basic needs.

We urge you to please take the step forward and support as many children as you can. Any amount, however large or small, is truly appreciated…

The funds raised will be used to support 160 children who lost their parent/s (or the earning parent) to COVID-19. The funds will ensure that all these children are able to continue their education and are protected from exploitation.
