A large number of daily wage earner do not have the backing of a steady monthly income or the flexibility of working from home like a lot of us have today.
They also do not have enough savings to stock up on food and other essentials for their family, young ones included. As responsible citizens of our country with the means to help, we need to unite together and help feed everyone and ensure nobody sleeps hungry.
1. Food Kit.
The large amount of hourly/daily wage workers do not have the backing of any sort of insurance, and as we all know they are among the most vulnerable to the negative financial effects of the pandemic. With no way to cover expenses, workers like these will inevitably struggle to earn money for food and medical support.

For these two important reasons it’s important to look at them. The blessed class of people who the almighty has granted his graces and make a concrete initiative to help them get ahead of the crisis by starting to provide necessary support to individuals like these.
