Help Families In Rural India Survive COVID-19

  • Limited testing in rural areas means the virus is spreading fast
  • Lack of hospital beds and delayed vaccine rollouts are proving deadly

In the remote, rural communities of India, COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire. While India's first wave was predominantly contained to urban centres, this aggressive second wave is attacking communities in rural areas, where two-thirds of the population live. Limited awareness of COVID-safe practices along with a lack of testing and healthcare facilities make rural villages particularly vulnerable to the virus. We desperately need your help to reach these under-served women, men and children.

Families living in poverty in these areas — mothers, fathers and children — often have less than a dollar or two a day to pay for food, rent and medical care. They don't have access to basic protections like soap, masks or medicine — and they may never, unless we reach them. And we need to help families survive.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO
  • Roll out campaigns to prevent COVID-19 infection and tackle misinformation 
  • Collaborate with local governments to facilitate vaccination camps
  • Distribute food ration kits and medicine 
  • Provide remote care through telemedicine
  • Set up basic care beds equipped with oxygen
  • Establish a temporary ambulance service 
  • Provide crucial small loans to help families restart their businesses and restore livelihoods.

Sign your name to show your support for the delivery of these life-saving resources and services to help desperate families in rural India survive this devastating second wave of COVID-19.
