COVID-19 RESPONSE
April 2021 saw the start of an all-India surge in Covid-19 infections owing to a devastating and rapidly spreading second wave. The surge is different from last year’s peak in many ways. The scale of the catastrophe, in the form of infections, deaths, and loss has surpassed what we saw in the first wave. Needless to say, every individual and family in the country is coping with anxiety, fear and helplessness.
Through the support of the Pratham community across the globe, funds are being raised to support the efforts of partners like Piramal Swasthya, Project Mumbai and others to deploy oxygen concentrators as well as other medical supplies to hospitals and care facilities across the country. Volunteers from our teams across the country are helping to identify areas of need, and support information collection to support healthcare partners. In response to this emergent situation, Pratham USA has established the Pratham Covid Relief Fund to support immediate and long-term recovery efforts.
With in-person activities on hold across all our vocational training centres, we will be leveraging these spaces across more than 8 states in India to be converted to isolation, care or vaccination facilities to be managed by government authorities. In addition, we aim to reach out to communities in catchment areas and partners to support on-ground health awareness activities and enable access to equipment and supplies.
