We are all aware of the devastating effect the Corona Virus (Covid-19) has had across the entire world, with over four million people dead and countless others infected, hospitalised or bereaved. India has been particularly hard hit due to its size, population and lack of adequate facilities, with marginalised sections of its society suffering the most. Amongst them, the poor, daily wage earners, homeless, slum dwellers and migrant workers have been the worst affected, often unable to afford even the basics of food and hygiene supplies for their families.
Gokuldham Nar recognised the immediate need to act during this unprecedented crisis and promptly organised our Covid-19 Relief Service to support individuals and communities within our reach.
