Since the beginning of June after lockdown has eased and the majority of the villagers are back to work,  we are still helping 22 families in the Dechu Tehsil District who need Sambhali's help for regular food supplies.
Here is the latest video. It is the 8th round of supplies to these families since March. Thank you all so much for your support during this crisis.

As in the attached new pie chart to date 2160 ration kits have been supplied to 544 families in total from 22 March until 30 May. These have been to families who live in 11 villages in the Dechu Tehsil District. 1143 families have been surveyed and have been provided with basic hygiene information and soaps and over 250 connected to a Whatsapp group for further up to date correct information.Since 18 May there has been an ease of restrictions in India and labourers have been able to return to work. We have done a recent survey and out of 453 families being provided with rations:324 families work as labourers in the local stone quarries
32 families/those living alone have pensions
34 families/those living alone have another form of support
17 families work as Iron sheet workers locally
46 families work in agricultural jobs

All those above now have access to earning an income and so the 7th and last round of rations has been distributed on 30 May.   22 families are still totally dependent on Sambhali Trust providing them with food supplies. These families will be distributed food once a month for approximately 6 months and possibly longer until we are sure that government help will be in place.

As of 31 May - $US 24,372 has been spent on food rations in Dechu Tehsil district (including $US874 in Jodhpur).

Thank you all so much for your support and helping these villagers through these tough times. Whilst restrictions are gradually easing through phased lifting of the lockdown in India the numbers of cases with Covid-19 continue to rise in Jodhpur, so we are proceeding with caution.
