If you've been following me here for a while, you might be aware of my association with ASSEFA and Project Kanavu that work with schools and communities of rural Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu.

Those communities are now facing reverse migration and loss of livelihood. The corona crisis has compounded existing inequalities such as poor access to transportation, essential goods, credit and also irregular income.

Here's how you can support the 100 families associated with ASSEFA and the 1200+ children their schools serve:
1. Donate towards groceries, amenities and transportation
(This emergency fund will complement govt. schemes, which take time to trickle down and reach everyone.)

2. Donate towards learning materials for children that they can use when it is safe enough for them to be in schools
(A family recovering from months of no income in poorly connected villages, will struggle to afford a fee to send children back to school.)

The specifics have been explained in detail in their fundraising campaign: https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-families-and-children-of-cuddalore-1?mlp_referrer_id=2691595&utm_medium=auto_share&utm_source=whatsapp

You can also donate via direct bank transfer or UPI. Details are in the picture.

A humble request to
1. Contribute how much ever you can
2. RT/share this in your WhatsApp groups and spread word to everyone in your circles

This is a campaign I can personally vouch for since the organisers are my close friends. Please reach out if you have any Qs. Thank you!
