Covid-19: lend a helping hand to those in need

In India, the lockdown is being eased in stages but there are all too many people out there who need help. Among the many disadvantaged communities are families in Delhi’s Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti, a 700-year-old settlement. A community women’s group, Sehat Sahayta Samooh, has organized a fund-raising campaign to provide dry-ration kits and personal hygiene products to the 600-plus families living there. They also volunteer in education and sanitation efforts. The group has been set up under the Nizamuddin Urban Renewal Initiative of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which is supervising their work.
