Essential Food Supplies to the Coastal Villages Affected by COVID 19

Emergency · House Construction · Completed · Raised $3,600

Trivandrum is a southern regional district in Kerala, India. A substantial number of its population lives in its coastal areas. These densely populated coastal villages have now turned out to be one of the major clusters of COVID-19. The rapid spread of the virus and the continuing prolonged lockdown, has adversely affected the lives of the common people here. In addition, sea rage has also relentlessly hammered the coast, breaching the sea wall, damaging homes, and disrupting the lives of many of these people living on the seashore. The majority of the population of these coastal villages are fishermen and daily wage earners, who are now unable to go for work due to this situation.

As an initial step, the Jesus Youth movement, through its Nalla Ayalkaran project, is supporting the community in these coastal villages by providing essential food supplies for their daily living. It would come around $9 for a single food supplies kit, which is a provision for one family, for one week. At present, 30,000 families are in dire need of support. We are hoping to reach out to 10,000 families among them. The sustainability of this project depends on the participation and collaboration of those who could support us generously to this end. We would really appreciate any response you may provide, towards supporting these needy families.

Thank you in advance for your contribution.
