Emergency Food for Sadhus and friends in India
Donation protected
During the first Indian Lockdown we managed to feed up to 700 people a night and 200 Sadhus for 4 months.
Lockdown 2.0 is happening in India and many people are becoming increasingly desperate especially the Sadhus (holy men and women) who rely on begging which is now not possible for them.
We aim to offer a meal every night to up to 700 beings. A meal consists of dahl, rice and 2 roti. One meal prepared in bulk is 50p.
The Nar Seva Trust is basically a family: grandfather, father and four sons and other volunteers who have taken this service on, working out of a large garage.
I know them all personally and have spent several months working with them getting food to those in need. At the moment I am in UK and I am responding to their heartfelt request for funds.The funds will come to me and be transferred to the Nar Seva Trust in Rishikesh. I was previously the treasurer and all accounting is fully transparent.
The video attached to this request we made during the first Lockdown but everything is the same what it does not show is the ordinary citizens who we will also be feeding with your kind help.
They have already started distributing food but the demand is so high that they have run out of money, all donations go directly to the effort.
£5000 should feed 500 for 100 days.
As always it is the poorest who get hardest hit.
Please hear this call and contribute generously, thank you!
