~ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE ~
On March 25, 2020, India imposed a national lockdown that
lasted five weeks. Restrictions continue. The hardship is unprecedented for our
preschool families who were already living on the edge. India’s Covid-19 rates
are still rising. Cases of the virus are in both preschool areas. Schools
remain closed but staff is working tirelessly to help their communities.
Schools are closed but HKI donors are making an immediate
and direct impact.
Rising to pandemic challenges: The preschools are a lifeline
for their communities.
With the help of HKI donors the crèches are…
• Buying
land and establishing a community garden for food and income
• Distributing
free food biweekly to 150 preschool families
• Stitching
free masks for the preschool communities
• Advising
on Covid-19 and connecting with families through home visits
• Keeping
the Health Center open for community use
• Providing
urgent medical care for preschool children
• Employing
25 people for a building project
• Maintaining
full salary for all staff during the pandemic
100% of donations go directly to the crèches.
