COVID-19 Relief work
Covid-19 has now found a new hunting ground – rural India. After having many cities reel under its effect, there has been trend reversal with rural areas reporting a spike in positive cases.
In our state, Andhra Pradesh, Covid-19 outbreak was predominantly limited to urban areas until about a month ago, accounting for nearly 90% of cases. But rural areas of the state have now started witnessing a spike in cases. This is because of movement from urban to rural areas. There are cases spreading in our village and in the neighbouring villages. We have fed hundreds of very poor families who were suffering from hunger and starvation through no fault of their own. This has been done by providing rice bags, grocery Kits and vegetables.
As Corona cases started to spread to our villages, we distributed PPEs to front line key workers who are working in the "Containment zones".
All the regional government authorities attended our distribution programs. The Officers commended services of IVM in this crisis situation.
We are distributing essential food pack (5Kgs of rice, 1 Kg Lentil and 1 litre sunflower oil, vegetables/eggs) to many starving families in our region.
If you would like to feed some families, Please message us.
CHILDREN'S HOME
If home is where the heart is, then IVM’s Children’s Home is truly “home sweet home” for many children in India.
IVM runs a Children's Home which is dedicated to providing a loving family atmosphere to children who have lost their parents. IVM cares for the physical, emotional and educational needs of children.
These children live in clean, safe dormitories and are given the opportunity of a lifetime in India—education from primary school through college.
EDUCATIONAL SPONSORSHIP
Many children in the rural villages do not receive an
education because they must work to help support their families. The greatest tool for helping someone face the adversity of poverty is education and we are fully committed to helping the very poor and needy children to have access to and avail themselves of quality education. India Village Ministries is providing support to some poor children and young people with their school/college education.
Restoring Joy
In rural India, family is the only protection against severe poverty
for the elderly. Some of the elderly we work with have no surviving
children, and many others have been abandoned by their children.
IVM seeks to restore joy in the lives of widows and the elderly by
providing regular assistance and meals. We hope to
expand this ministry to care for more widows and elderly.
