What is the case?
With the increased period of lockdown imposed countrywide for an increase in the number of positive cases, helpless families struggle exceedingly to afford essential necessities of daily meals /groceries. Left to face financial burdens due to increased lockdowns, many people are becoming more fearful of not knowing where their next meal comes from.
Some are even on the verge of thinking if their families will be able to survive this epic crisis. With the fear of hunger & hopelessness, these people need us more than ever.
We worked to discover the most helpless and distributed food supplies/ Grocery bag

Supporting the Leper community
one of the communities that are most vulnerable to COVID-19 and truly deserve help during these unprecedented times is the Leper community who lives on the outskirts of our city.
Social distancing & self lockdown is a privileged meaning you have enough resources to afford your daily essential necessities like access to food & sustainability. But for these helpless Lepers, it's misery.
To our research in assessing the most affected people, these are our top priority to help to ensure their food security and we made sure their needs are met.
The very following day, we got to the closest mart and purchased hundreds of KGS of daily essential groceries like Rice, oil, dal, wheat flour, and sugar, and our church members volunteered to enable packing and to reach the community.
"God is so gracious, we never reckoned our needs are met this shortly. This is the sufficient need we could receive at these hard times" we should not have to worry about where our next meal comes from says the elder of the community.
Overall 107 leper families received the grocery bags, gave praises to the Lord, and with delighted expressions they reached back residence.
One of our volunteers says "we might actually think a grocery bag isn't great assistance, but a small act of kindness can make a difference to the needy individual"It was exceedingly delightful to notice our team spirit grew up.
our team didn't stop with it. we continued to extend support with our "food relief campaigns" to further meet the essential daily food necessities of 3 more communities reaching an overall number of 239 families.
