ESG Team, in coordination with various civil society organisations and trade unions, has been assisting stranded migrant workers, daily wagers, urban poor, pastoralists and rural poor survive the lock-down.

We assist them to continue living a dignified life through the pandemic lock-down.

This means they do not have to depend on daily handouts. We provide them at least two weeks of dry rations.

With the lock-down extended, they now need more help.
