News Letter Augest to October 2021
Team SPPD Nov 17, 2021
SPPD involved in several activities during the last three
months period from August to October 2021.
Covid19 pandemic has been leaving devastating impacts on all sections of
the society here and has badly affected the livelihood of the marginalized
communities in a big way.
Children have been missing their schools for almost the last
two years and SPPD has been helping them in association with Give India. Apart
from depriving the children the free mid day meals the long closure of schools
due to the pandemic has also would have left a damaging impact on their health.
In order to mitigate the same the three months kits comprising of dry food
rations
The kits consisting of
nutritious food items such as rice,
wheat flour, oil, pulses, nutritious mix, etc
have been provided to 1500
children belonging to the villages here every month. This apart as many as 750
families of daily wagers who have lost their livelihood in pandemic were
provided with kits of dry food rations.
This program named “ Hungry Child” has in fact ensured the children to become happy and has gone a
long way in keeping the children both physically and psychologically strong. Similarly
this has given them a sense of confidence and courage in these times of
economic distress in their families.
This apart now during
the fag end of October we had been involved in the flood relief activities in
Chennai city and its suburbs as well as Trichy.
To sum up SPPD during this period of three months has been
able to keep members of the marginalized sections here not to lose hope by
mitigating the economic impacts of the Covid pandemic and
the flood disaster
