CHRED Inviting Contributions
COVID-19 pandemic is causing devastating impact in almost every country in the world. India, currently considered in the ‘acceleration phase’ of the virus, has number of positive cases increasing at an exponential rate. The Government’s decision to lockdown the country in order to diminish the spread of the virus has helped in contracting the spread. However, it is also turning into an impediment to underprivileged communities. The marginalized, as a result of the lockdown, are out of jobs, forced to move back to their native places and most vulnerable to the pandemic in the absence of face masks, hand sanitizers and basic amenities including food and sanitation.
CHRED in its Endeavour to support the communities aims to leverage its wide network of skilled workforce and implementation partners to take forward and implement the intentions through a set of models to achieve one inclusive goal – to reach out to underprivileged communities and strengthen their livelihoods.
