Prayatna has been providing Covid relief since March 2020in 5 areas (Delhi-NCR, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar and Gujarat) by providing dry ration, cooked food, and preventive care to under-served families. This has already benefited over 7,500 families among daily wage workers, house workers, street vendors, and others who have lost livelihoods.
The second wave of Covid in 2021 has been very potent and the situation is extremely grim right now. Our staff along with community partners are working round the clock to save lives. Since hospitals are at capacity, we are distributing home care kits and educating people on how to prevent and manage the disease at home. We are also sending equipment (Oxygen Concentrators, Pulse Oximeters, and PPE) to hundreds of small hospitals who are unprepared to manage covid patients but are now flooded with them anyway.
