Hunger During Covid19: Help Us Feed India's Poor

*Ketto is not charging any fee on this fundraiser*

Karwan e Mohabbat and a team of volunteers are reaching out to the most vulnerable people and communities who find themselves stranded without work, food and home during the lockdown announced by the Indian government. 

As millions of daily wage labourers and working-class people find themselves without work, food and shelter, the war against the COVID-19 is threatening to become a humanitarian and economic crisis beyond imagination.

These are the people who are at most risk of severe ill-health and death due to starvation. There are sections of the population that live on the edge even in times of apparent “normalcy”. When faced with a crisis like the Corona induced lockdown, it is they who are the most likely to fall off the edge. 

About the Karwan-e-Mohabbat

Karwan e Mohabbat is a human rights campaign that was first crafted as a journey of atonement, solidarity, conscience and justice. Since September 2017, we have been travelling across India, reaching out to families hit by hate violence, offering them legal and psychosocial help as well as solace and atonement. 

We need your support to continue and expand our work with utmost efficiency. We urge you to come forward and donate generously in these trying times and help as many needy people as possible.

We are especially conscious of doing food distribution in a dignified manner with the necessary protocols of social distancing. Everyone has the right to safe, dignified, nutritious food.

For this we have evolved three different engagements:

1.) Distribution of cooked meals: Based on continuous need assessment and our experience of work we have figured out locations where we need to distribute cooked food. Our volunteers are moving with vehicles that are collecting nutritious cooked frood from a central kitchen and reaching these areas.

2.) Distribution of dry ration: Particularly for stranded migrant workers, the violence affected families in NE Delhi and to the distressed families in the slum areas we have also been packing and delivering dry ration kits in bulk. The kits include 5kg wheat flour, 5 kg rice, 2 kg pulse, 1 kg salt, 1 kg sugar, 1 lt refined oil, 100 g chilli powder, 50 g turmeric powder, 50 g coriander powder, 50 g zeera, 1 bathing soap and 1 detergent bar.

3.) Facilitated Distribution of cooked meals: Apart from this we also facilitated distribution through fraternal networks in several areas.
