Stories of Impact

“अब ठंढ का एहसास नहीं हो रहा..कम्बल और सुजनी की वजह से मै अब रात काटकर नहीं बल्कि सो कर गुजार सकता हूँ..”- (Now I don’t feel the cold because of the blankets and sujnis. I can sleep through the night instead of shivering..)

Rogahi Mahto, 81 year old village elder from West Champaran, Bihar, puts it aptly. Surrounded by forests, every year this part of northern India is under the grip of severe cold. Winters is an annual disaster that brings suffering to vulnerable groups like the aged, physically challenged and widows. We reached out with Winter kits (comprising a blanket, a Sujni, four woolen clothes and some utensils) under our Odha Do Zindagi campaign.

The BarrackPore slum in Kolkata, West Bengal was destroyed a few years ago in a massive fire. People here face many challenges in their day-to-day life – major hygiene issues, water supply, drainage, street lighting, solid waste management, common toilets, and municipality water services. In Covid, the most difficult part has been the closure of educational activities for the children. When our team mobilised and motivated the slum residents they expressed a desire to build a study center for their kids under our flagship program- Cloth for Work . Soon people came together to get the study center ready. They also cleaned their own residential area. We reached out winter kits to the locals as a reward for their efforts.
