The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the livelihoods of countless poor families, pushing them into deeper financial instability. As businesses shut down and jobs were lost, many families found themselves without a steady income, making it increasingly difficult to access even the most basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare. The loss of livelihood not only affected their day-to-day survival but also heightened their vulnerability to long-term poverty, creating a cycle of hardship that has been challenging to break. The pandemic underscored the fragile nature of their economic security, leaving them in dire need of support and resources to rebuild their lives.
How we are addressing the issue?

In response, a collaborative effort with Rapid Response was organized to distribute groceries, ensuring that these families received the necessary supplies to sustain themselves during this challenging time. This initiative was crucial in providing immediate relief and helping them navigate through the crisis.
