Support for 36 Bengali families who lost jobs due to Covid lockdown May, 2021

Meet Mohammed Hasiful, 28, and his partner Babli, living in Kolkata. They both work in the food industry, in shopping malls, which are closed now due to the new lockdown in India. They are right away out of any income and won't be able to cover their food expenses for the weeks to come. 

We are offering support to them with $41 USD to buy and store groceries for this month that they are able to eat. We thank you for this necessary help.



Meet Mr Jahangir Jaes Hussain, 40 years old, with his wife and daughter. They are based an hour 30 minutes from Kolkata, India, where Jahangir has just opened a garments shop with the help of the charity 100 Friends USA. With a new lockdown in India to tackle the deadly second covid wave, Jahangirs shop is closed and he can not earn any money right now. He is unable to feed his family and to pay his house and shop rent. Therefore he is going down financially right away and could lose  everything. We are providing him this month with 54 USD to buy and store enough groceries ( see pics) to feed his family. We are able to keep them afloat for now. Thank you for your support which enables Jahangir to breath till better days come.



Meet Mohammed Dilshad age 33, based in New Delhi where he lives with his elder brother and his family of 7 members. Dilshad and his younger brother Ershad grew up in Kolkata as orphan boys. They both suffered from tuberculosis as they lived in the street back then and they almost died. At present, Dilshad is losing his eyesight and can't work while one of his leg is damaged due to polio in his childhood. His elder brother who provides for the family is out of work due to the lockdown. They generally live in poverty and will find it impossible to go through the lockdown without income. We are helping them with $67 USD to store basic groceries at home for this month (rice, lentils, oil, vegetables, onions, potatoes etc). We thank you for their support.
