Help the most vulnerable citizens affected by India's longest and worst ever heatwave- ActionAid

The spike in COVID-19 cases after Unlock has highlighted the challenge of containing the outbreak more vigorously in the next two to three months. Prompt identification of early signs and symptoms can play a crucial role in isolating those infected and breaking the chain.This is even more important in rural areas, where is very little or no awareness about hygiene and preventive measures. Social distancing is not too much of an option in these small hutments, where there is barely enough roof over their heads for everyone. If even one person gets infected, the virus would spread exponentially in these villages.There is a lack of adequate Covid-19 testing facilities in the interior villages. Even basic screening facilities like a temperature check or oxygen level (SpO2) check are not available at majority places.With thousands of underprivileged people now moving around in search of jobs, prevention and early identification is the only way to control the spread. 
 With the support of our brave front-line responders - medical practitioners, nurses &amp; volunteers, we are now distributing Early Detection Kits for prevention that include :<ul><li>A Pulse Oximeter - to regularly monitor SpO2 (oxygen) levels and pulse rate</li><li>A Digital Thermometer - to regularly check body temperature</li><li>A Steam Inhaler - to keep seasonal colds &amp; flu at bay</li><li>Tarpaulin Sheet - 12’ x 15’ to create an isolated space in their houses if required</li><li>5 Masks - to protect those going out of the house</li></ul>Along with teaching how to use the equipment and the normal parameters range, our volunteers are also spreading awareness w.r.t identifying the early signs and symptoms when to visit a Primary Healthcare Centre. Importance of social distancing, correct methods to cough/sneeze, wash hands, etc. are being emphasized again. 
 We have already reached out to 1 lakh+ under-privileged villagers since 25th March in our ongoing drive #CoronaSeKaruna of distributing Hygiene Kits and Grocery Kits across 255+ backward &amp; tribal villages of Raigad district, just 90 kms from Mumbai.We have distributed 12,142 kits Hygiene Kits and 6,726 kits Grocery kits as on date, equivalent to 48,42,720 meals.The State Disaster Management Authority has felicitated us with an award at the hands of District Collector Ms. Nidhi Chaudhari &amp; Maharashtra Cabinet Minister of State Ms. Aditi Tatkare for our exemplary efforts to support 1lakh+ villagers during Covid-19.We will continue to strive towards uplifting the lives of under-privileged in the interiors of Maharashtra. Regular updates about our work are shared on our Insta &amp; FB pages (@mission2020.me)A donation of INR 3000 can provide an Early Detection Kit to one family. We seek your hearty support in this initiative by supporting as many families as possible and helping us build strong response capabilities on-ground.

The Pandemic caused by Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) across the globe has landed the entire humanity in a state of chaos. It has shaken the roots of the world economy and has restricted everybody helplessly to the four walls of home.The COVID-19 scenario in India is no different than the rest of world.  The cases in India are rising alarmingly in the last 2 months with doubling time of nearly 11- 15 days across different states. More than 50% of the cases are concentrated in the three cities of Mumbai, Delhi and Ahmedabad. Post lockdown and the migrant labour issues and with their migration back to their native states the cases are on the rise in Bihar, UP and West Bengal. The total cases in India have reached out to more than 2.6 lakhs with more than 50 thousands are in the hospital. The health workers are over worked along with other Covid warriors like police , municipal workers, sanitation workers and frontline volunteers who are busy doing tracing, testing and containing the area. Their safety is our top priority and as large number of Covid workers are getting infected daily the demand for quality PPE kit is on the rise as there is scarcity of such kits across different states and hospitals .The migrant issues and lockdown and quarantine of these migrants in their respective states has opened many loopholes in the system and unaddressed problems like unemployment , financial crisis, food scarcity, transportation and problems related to quarantine of suspected and isolation of cases.  This is the time when everything can’t be left over for government to support health institutions, needy and poor person. It is the time when Non Government Organizations, Corporate Sectors, Well established businessmen and the like should step in for rescue of the Nation as a whole.  
 In accordance with its fundamental principles and spirit of serving the mankind and striving tirelessly for the human race, Grameen Sneh Foundation (GSF) came to the support the health institutions, Police personnel, front-line health workers, needy patients, attendants, stranded passengers, poor women, children and victims of the Lockdown .GSF came up with an initiative called HAUSLA RAHAT –under which GSF established Control Centres in Patna, Vaishali, Kishanganj, Bihar; Srinagar, Anantnag, J&amp;K; Cuttack &amp; Jajapur, Odisha; Darjeeling, West Bengal and Vaishali, Ghaziabad, UP for Delhi-NCR and relief work was carried out. The relief work included supply of safety medical equipment's ( PPE kits) to the health institutions; Dry ration packets, Cooked food packets, sanitation drives and awareness generation for migrant labour, patients, their attendants, stranded passengers. Nearly 5000 PPE kits were distributed to various Govt Health institutions and more than 17000 families got benefited and it is still going on in full swing. To continue this work, GSF believes that huge financial support needs to be garnered. Looking into the growing demand of PPE kits in the health institutions &amp; Police Departments across the country, GSF is going to support Govt/Society/Trust run health institutions for front-line health workers and Police Personnel to support by way of providing 1 lakh PPE Kit, 1 Lakh N-95 Mask, 1 Lakh Nitrile Gloves &amp; Hand sanitisars for 1 lakh personnel in different cities of India. Such step shall help frontline health workers &amp; Police personnel to work for Covid Patients without any fear. Apart from this, as large number of migrants are stationed in quarantine centers and positive cases are put in covid care centers across different states GSF would like to work with the state and district administrations to improve the conditions of these centres, help government to establish isolation wards in hospitals and more covid care and also provide dry ration packets, sanitisation, tele-consultations for migrant labours, lower level income group for more than 1 lakh persons.So our plan to provide above mentioned items in 10 weeks by way of providing such items in 10 equally installment per week in 10 weeks.Henceforth, GSF is required to make long term affiliation with Give India Foundation for  financial support for different locations of Country, as per mutually agreed location.
