For almost 2 decades, Purple Valley Yoga Retreat has been a peaceful haven situated in Goa, India for Ashtanga yoga practitioners and students across the world. India is the home of yoga, and Purple Valley hosts some of the world's leading Ashtanga yoga courses & teachers in Goa's most comfortable yoga accommodation.
As the world grapples with possibly the worst public health crisis seen in more than a century, India too has been in lock down since 25th March 2020 and maybe on the cusp of an explosion of corona virus cases.
A country of 1.3 billion people — are faced with the inevitable loss of livelihoods, increased poverty and malnutrition, urban displacement of daily wagers and migrant labourers, and several other concerns.
Put simply, the real cost of the COVID-19 pandemic is impossible to imagine.
Filling The Gap is an initiative to create a dedicated emergency response fund for those affected most by the COVID-19 lockdown. With this fund, we want to ensure that our workforce, the backbone of Purple Valley, has the support they need while they grapple with what is possibly the worst public health crisis seen in more than a century.
Though all the staff employees of Purple Valley will be paid cash allowance, till the virus abates and they are in employment again, unfortunately this may not be enough. With the Purple Valley Relief Fund we hope to provide a further safety net for our staff and their family members who are affected by lack of jobs.
More than 200 people connected to Purple Valley and dependent on its normal operations. These include our staff and their family members, vendors, local partners and seasonal workers in Assagao village, who are now faced with uncertainty and loss of livelihoods - no longer sure when they will make their next wage again.
Your donations to the Fund will be used to organise and supply monthly food and hygiene packages for these people who help us make Purple Valley Yoga Retreat the place it is today. The monthly provision packages will include wheat, rice, pulses, onion, oil, sugar, salt, spices, soaps, detergents, and basic medicines.
As a community, it is time to come forward and make a difference. Any contribution is appreciated but for reference a family of 5 can be supported for one month for INR 4500 or 50 GBP.
