The Covid-19 pandemic is having a devastating impact on daily wage earners and their families. With the country on complete lockdown, they are left with no source of employment and are struggling to feed their families. The people who once helped us in our daily lives, are now urgently in need of our help! 

The Parikrma Humanity Foundation, between their 4 schools has over 1,800 children of daily wage earners, for whom they would provide 3 meals a day. Unable to come to school, these children are no longer getting these meals. With no employment and restricted movement in the city, the children's parents are unable to afford basic rations for their sustenance and may be left starving. It is critical for us to act now, before it's too late.


The Parikrma Humanity Foundation is a non-profit organisation based out of Bangalore, aiming to provide under-privileged children from slums with a high-quality education and an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. While they concentrate on the overall development of the children, they simultaneously work closely with their families to ensure a safe and sustainable environment at home.

At this time of crisis, Parikrma has set up an integrated program to feed, educate and support not just their children, but their entire families as well. This system aims at providing ration to each family to help them get through one week at a time. In addition to this, to keep the children and their families optimistic, they continue to distribute worksheets to the children so that their education is interrupted as little as possible. Their mothers have been provided means like used fabric and Sarees to stitch cloth bags, for which Parikrma is providing them with wages for a continued form of livelihood.
These families desperately need your help!


Parikrma is ensuring a safe system for the distribution of these rations. Each bag of ration contains 5-kilo rice, 2-kilo toor dal, 1-kilo ragi, 1/2-litre oil, and 1 cake of soap. The mothers of these children walk to their respective centres to collect their rations once a week in order to minimise them leaving their homes. Along with this, they collect worksheets from the teachers to take back home for their children to complete. Each step of this process is undergone bearing all safety precautions in mind. The mothers sanitise their hands both before and after they collect their rations and are made to stand with significant social distancing between them.


As an ongoing volunteer at Parikrma, I am raising funds to feed the children who have been impacted so adversely in these challenging times. With your donations, the team at Parikrma would be able to purchase rations and distribute them to the families of all these children for the coming weeks of lockdown. Every contribution counts. Thank you for your support!
