There are hundreds of children who have lost their primary caretakers, one parent or both, to COVID-19. There are also children whose parents are currently ill and are not able to look after them, as well as those in orphanages and childcare centres, in need of immediate assistance. It is our duty to help in every way we can. Although the project's target population is children in Karnataka, contributions are welcome from across the country.
Project Raabta aims to provide financial assistance to organizations working towards setting up dedicated quarantine and COVID Care Centres for children. As Karnataka goes into another lockdown, the need to support children affected by the pandemic is paramount. The need to raise funds is immediate and urgent. Over the past few days, fifteen children have found shelter under the care and protection of these homes. Your contribution will help support these structures.
The peculiarities of the disease make it harder for extended family to step in and extend support. Some children don't even have extended family to rely on. Today, from the team at Aahan Vaahan, we seek to support three very special organizations (mentioned further down) that have come together to provide a safe home for children affected (and separately for those infected) by COVID-19.
One of the most heartbreaking aspects of the pandemic is that it is tearing families apart. Protecting children who have lost the adults in their lives is crucial. Here are the initiatives you can support to keep these little ones safe and healthy until they can be reunited with family or find permanent homes.
The need to raise funds is immediate and urgent since over the past few days fifteen children are already under the care and protection of these homes. Requests for several more children have already been received.
This initiative is under the guidance and support from the Child Protection team (Child Welfare Committee) of the Government of Karnataka, to set up dedicated Quarantine and COVID Care Centers for children.
