SAKSHI NGO, is on the ground reaching out to the
most marginalized, especially the stranded
migrant workers in cities and the workers who
have reached home with no source of income and a
bleak future.

We are also reaching out to the homeless, the
migrants and the rag pickers who have no access
to ration or shelter.

With over 5.40 million confirmed cases and over
3.49 lakh deaths worldwide, the COVID-19 is
impacting lives in ways that the world has been
unable to fathom, leave alone deal with. The
World Health Organization (WHO) declared
COVID-19, a pandemic on March 11, 2020.

In India, over 1.51 lakh people are infected
with the Novel Corona virus and over 4000 have
died. These numbers are increasing with every
passing day. We are towards the end of the 4th
phase of the lockdown, which was an essential
step to flatten the curve, yet the Pandemic
remains affecting millions of lives

What went well?
However, what the lockdown did was to render
millions of migrant workers jobless, without
money, without food and without any
transportation to return home. News channel and
social media platforms are flooded with photos
and videos of millions of migrant workers
walking home, women and children included.

What went well?

different states to about 2.5 lakh people with
dry ration and distributed about 20000 packets
of cooked meal made Unconditional Cash
