Adapting both the programme — and our response.
Households received kits with essential provisions during the first wave.
Villages reached with relief — alongside the daily programme adaptations.
When the lockdown was announced, we quickly adapted our programme. We introduced strict Covid-appropriate safety norms for our team and the children: mask-wearing, hand-wash with soap before the start and end of daily activities, and maintaining safe distances.
We suspended all contact sports like Kho-Kho and Kabaddi; instead, we introduced yoga and meditation. Creative activities — storytelling, thumb painting, and the like — were retained. We taught all children how to make and wear masks.
During the first wave, the lockdown affected not only the school-going children in villages, but also severely impacted the livelihoods of several families. To mitigate this, we provided relief kits with essential provisions to more than 600 households across 21 villages.
