Over 139 million migrant workers from the countryside work in India's cities and towns. With factories and workplaces shut down, they were left with no livelihood. The lockdown has disrupted and threatens to trigger a food crisis. Seeing the plight of migrant labours, Prayatna is committed to support these people in the difficult times through distribution of cooked food, dry ration, reusable masks, AND soaps. In this regard, Prayatna has been working since the 1st week of April in Delhi-NCR, Bhubaneswar, Jharkhand, and Gujarat by providing the marginalized population with dry ration and cooked food. We are serving to 4000 families every day. Prayatna has also been able to provide more than 1000 PPE's to doctors, nurses and other covid19 warriors in Delhi. Prayatna distributed more than 6000 handmade masks & soaps to the people in Muzzafarpur.

The focus on soft skills in the classes was something which we didn’t get in our school and homes. I have learnt how to face people with confidence. The counselling sessions helped me a lot both professionally and personally
I am the first person in my family who is working in a formal sector. If I would not have got the opportunity to attend skill development course in Prayatna then I would have been working in informal sector with so sense of security just like my parents.
Prayatna is the first ever NGO which has come forward for transgender community to provide them with skill development training in the domain which we love (Beauty and Fashion). We all are very happy and looking forward to an economically effective life.
It’s so good to finally get the long overdue training which all our transgender community deserve. Every time when the community members come to the classes we see a sense of accomplishment in their eyes, as now things are looking great for our community. Focus on soft skills is something which all our community will be benefited immensely.
I have been taking stitching classes in the Praytana’s Uttam Nagar centre from last 2 months. I feel so much confident now and my aspiration to join formal sector will bring dignity and respect to me and my community.
I loved taking classes in the Prayatna centre as they were not boring. We were taught through activities which made classes fun and educative at the same time.
