Two years into the pandemic, 66% of people from economically vulnerable households, said that their income had decreased as compared to the pre-Covid period.
Using the Global Food Insecurity Experience Scale (GFIES), a survey has been conducted in 2022 which puts a worrisome analysis on diet and food intake. It shows that 79% of the households reported some form of food insecurity and 25% reported severe food insecurity. Of the total respondents, more than 60% worried about not having enough food, were unable to eat healthy or nutritious food or could eat only a few kinds of foods in the month preceding the survey. “About 45% reported that their household ran out of food in the month preceding the survey and close to a third of the respondents reported that they or someone in their household had to skip a meal or sleep without eating in the month preceding the survey.
With the on and off of lockdown/curfews and COVID-19 situation, there is no stability in the working conditions in the society and hence people are left with no jobs which is not only affecting their mental health but physical health as well.
In a population of more than 2,00,000 underprivileged people residing in slums around South Delhi with approx. 5-6 members in each family and at least 2 members without a job or with such job which is not enough for providing them a nutritious diet is an unfortunate situation. Therefore, I Geetika Sachdeva, a Volunteer at Hamari Pahchan NGO has started this campaign to feed every human that I can. My goal is to let everyone have a meal before they sleep.
Recently, through a survey, it has brought to my attention that HUNGER is a major problem. So, I have decided to help them with the monthly distribution of Ration/Meals
Basic necessities for 1 family: Rs.2199/-
Basic necessities for 10 families: Rs.21990/-
Basic necessities for 35 families: Rs.76965/-
Ration for 1 family includes:
( Three types of Pulses, Rice, Atta, Eggs, Tea, Sanitary Pads, Soap, Shampoo, Cloth, and Utensils washing powder)
No amount is big or small, it's the contribution that matters! You can donate for a one time meal i.e. Rs.50/-
Thank you!
