Support for over 800 underprivileged children & 200 vulnerable families impacted due to Covid-19

In the current state of crisis caused by COVID-19, children and families in more than 24 locations across India are among the worst affected population due to their poor economic backgrounds and social vulnerabilities. SOS Children's Villages of India is providing support to these families and children by giving them access to digital education and dry ration kits.

The marginalized communities are struggling continuously to meet their basic needs, which further jeopardize children's safety and protection. These challenges if remain unanswered will lead the children/youth and families in an intricate cycle of problems and poverty. SOS India is committed to respond to the emergent needs of these marginalized groups consisting poorest of the poor, schedule castes, schedule tribes, migrants and other socially backward groups.SOS Children’s Village of India has been working with communities at grass root level since a decade, which has now reached out to over 18,500 children across 32 locations pan-India

Through this project, We will help them financially so that they will be capable enough to take up this livelihood and become self-reliant, whereas going ahead they could be in a better position to give proper care, protection and healthy nurturing to their children. We will be working in following areas:

• Livelihood Support for women headed families
• Capacity building of women through income generation activities & SHG support
• Helping set up small business and micro enterprise initiatives for those who lost their earnings
• Overall Community mobilization to challenge the societal women & girls issues

We, at SOS Children's Villages of India, are doing our best to make sure that all children, youth, their families and our staff are safe and stay healthy during this difficult times. With the predictions of a third wave at hand, we need to prepare ourselves to deal with any health crisis that hits us. We need your support more than ever now!!
