Help Sikligar Sikhs during COVID-19
On March 24th, 2020 the Indian government announced a nationwide lockdown to help contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
This lockdown, while well intended has made it almost impossible for individuals within impoverished communities to maintain a living or to feed their families.
Specifically, Sikligar Sikhs, an often forgotten community of people living across India are at great risk of going weeks if not months without sufficient support.
As a charity, we have spent years working with these families through our community development projects and our Bloom Literacy Program. Through this work, we have built a strong bond of trust with these individuals and we are doing everything in our power to help support them in this unprecedented time of need.
--- 1st Phase ---
Currently we are supporting over 200 families living in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Hyderabad. All together, we will be delivering 12 tonnes of food at a cost of $10,000 throughout the next week. Your donations will go directly towards supporting this effort, and helping us prepare for phase two.
--- 2nd Phase ---
With additional funds and support, we will extend our reach to a further 200 Sikligar families.
