PPE Pack for Medical Staff 
An Urgent Appeal to our Friends & Supporters
We are all experiencing an unprecedented situation due to COVID-19. We understand that we are facing a crisis here at home in the UK, and we’ve all got a role to play to help us get through it, but we made a promise to the vulnerable people living on the streets and in the slums of Kolkata. They can’t practice social distancing, they don’t have access to hand sanitiser – they’re lucky if they have access to water.
We fear that if we don’t act now the virus will spiral out of control in the crowded slums and amongst the street-dwelling population, who have no way of protecting themselves. Many of these people are in the high-risk category and are especially vulnerable.
We urgently need to distribute food packs to families who now have no income due to the lockdown and we also need to provide them with basic protective supplies and equipment so that we can fight this terrible virus and slow the spread. We also need to protect our healthcare workers fighting on the frontline by providing them with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) packs. At the bottom of this page you can also choose to make a monetary donation to our Emergency Response campaign. Can you help us?
Food & Provisions Pack
£18.00
Daily wage earners will be the most affected by COVID-19, both during the lockdown and during the post-pandemic economic crisis. They will struggle to survive every single day. Donating ration kits to their families will go a long way to supporting them.
Currently we are distributing packs of food to families that consist of 10kg of rice, 5kg of potatoes and 2kg of dal. Your donation of £18 will provide two supply packs of food which will feed a family of five for two weeks. These packs are being distributed among the street population in 17 of the most vulnerable areas in Kolkata where the HOPE Night Round Mobile Ambulance team are working.
