People are showcasing unity during difficult times when we all are fighting against a virus. A Srinagar-based NGO has been lending a helping hand to both the frontline workers and the needy to ensure their safety amid this crisis. They work in Jammu and Kashmir on education, livelihood, youth, and women-related issues. After the coronavirus outbreak, they launched their emergency response.
Working hand in hand with the district administration, Department of Health, and Srinagar Municipal Corporation, Khan’s five-member team has distributed over 10,000 – 15,000 hand sanitizers, face masks, PPEs, and hand gloves to the frontline workers and the needy. They have also distributed sanitary napkins to women at various quarantine facilities set up by the government.
Managing everything locally, they immediately employed local tailors to stitch some masks and got the samples approved from health officials. Today, they have employed a lot of local tailors, including women, to make masks. To ensure their team’s safety, they are wearing PPE at all times.
People like them are doing commendable philanthropic work in this situation and showcasing how we all stand in unity and we are one.
