There has been an improvement in the number of Covid cases in India but some of our villages have been badly affected by the virus and sadly there have been a number of deaths among our Nandri families.

Nandri is playing a very important part in facilitating and organising the distribution of vaccines throughout our villages. Another important role which Nandri is undertaking, is educating our families on the importance of vaccination. There is a hesitancy to get it amongst some of the villagers and a lack of understanding of how important and affective it is in preventing illness and death from Covid 19 and also stopping the spread of the virus. Our Vaccine education programme will help our families to feel confident and knowledgable before being vaccinated.

Yesterday we facilitated the vaccination of 200 people but unfortunately there was a limited number of vaccines available to us. We are working hard with the government in Tamil Nadu on our vaccine distribution programme and as soon as more are available to us, we will be ready to continue vaccinating our families as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, Nandri is continuing to support our mothers and their families in every way we can. The villages are still in lockdown and people are unable to earn any money. There is a daily struggle to to feed their children and themselves. They cannot afford emergency medicines and tragically some children have been orphaned because of Covid. They are so grateful to have Nandri and know that we are always there, giving them food and money to feed their families obtainInt vital medicines and helping them to survive this pandemic.

We cannot do this work without the generous support of our donors. On behalf of all our mothers, we sincerely thank you.
