My name is Omprakash Telkar and I am from Shivamogga. I have seen many poor families suffering at this time because of a lack of essential resources.
Since India's national lockdown began, a few of us have pooled together our own resources and have been providing food grains, rations and other essentials to families in the city's slums. Many of these people are extremely poor or have been deprived of livelihoods because of the national lockdown. Their access to food has been compromised as a result.
It's time to react and help. COVID-19 is a situation, unlike anything we’ve faced before. This campaign hopes to be a space where we can raise money for these families, provide for daily wage workers and smaller establishments, and build solidarity with other groups doing similar work. Hoping for a city and world where no one goes hungry!
