SEEDS distributes 1 million meals across 8 states amid corona crisis

In its constant endeavour to support the most vulnerable and invisible communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, SEEDS distributed 1 million meals in 27 days of lockdown across 8 states of the country. Children in orphanages, daily wage earners, transgender communities, women-headed households, tribal families, slum dwellers, socially marginalised groups and commercial sex workers were reached out.

The organisation has also launched a special helpline [phone] to provide immediate emergency assistance so that those in dire need can get speedy help and guidance.

Talking about the impact of Covid19 on people and SEEDS initiative Manu Gupta, Co-Founder SEEDS said “It gives a good feeling to learn that the 1 million meals were able to save lives. While the pandemic is looming large, the need to save those going hungry like the underprivileged groups, people with disabilities, children in orphanage and many like these grows even more. Saving lives is extremely important. We feel humbled by the large number of people still to be reached so that no one goes hungry. It pains us to realise, 1 million is too little a number as there are many who still remain hungry and in a very difficult situation”.
