Confirmed Coronavirus cases in India increasing every day. Maharashtra is worst-hit state and Pune city has highest number of Coronavirus cases in country. Pune is the epicentre for corona and have the maximum numbers of cases.
Livelihoods of daily wage earners, labourers, slum dwellers have disrupted massively. Maids, Plumbers, House Help, Rickshaw pullers, street-side vendors, labours and many more are hard-hit. Almost all have lost their jobs.
Most of them are migrants and are caught completely unprepared and without a source of income and stuck in the city with limited movement. They have very little knowledge and a lot of misinformation about Covid-19.
Most of the information available on WhatsApp and Media is too technical for them to understand and lots of rumours and panic among them and they are also spreading rumours to others.

Wheat flour -5Kg,
Rice -3 Kg,

These slum dwellers use public toilets and live in compact sheds.

We also tell them Do’s and Don’ts based on their living conditions.
We also teach them self-assessment as they have lot of confusion. We are trying to contain CoronaVirus Spread. Right knowledge to them is very important as they have very very few channels to get correct information.
