With the country bearing witness to the second wave of Covid and one of the most serious health crises of all times, the situation on-ground has been grimmer as compared to last year. The awful memories of pandemic-induced joblessness, and this year’s paucity of resources, reduced access to those resources, and the rising incidence of infections has been a major driving force to plunge into operations on-ground.
Goonj has already activated its rural as well as urban partners in varied geographies. While our teams continue to operate on ground, in rural as well as urban areas, cases of reverse migration are being reported due to the lockdowns imposed in the states, etc. Our teams are well-equipped with the knowledge and experience from last year to reach out to the affected communities in a time-bound manner, keeping in mind all the safety precautions and guidelines.
- working extensively across urban and rural parts of 25 states and UTs of India.
- 1000+ team, 8 urban offices in all big metros, 11+rural implementation offices.
- Thousands of urban and rural volunteers.
- A strong network of a few hundred grassroots partner organizations and hundreds of corporates and institutional partners in cities.
- Doing large scale disaster relief and rehab work with a reliable and time tested, need based disaster relief & rehabilitation approach across India. Most recently in Kerala floods in 2018 and massive cyclone in Odisha in 2019. More on that here.
- Goonj has worked through some known disasters - from cloud burst, floods, drought, earthquakes, landslides, tsunami to some ignored disasters like fire and winters. water crisis where lost livelihoods etc. have deep and persistent impact on the lives of people.
b) Identify and work for institutions like old age homes, child care centers, caregiver centers and other vulnerable groups/ individuals who need immediate supply of ration, hygiene essentials, masks, gloves, medical equipment, etc., as per needs assessed.
c) With a view to reduce human touch, mitigate logistics issues, and ensure faster delivery, support direct monetary transfer in the accounts of people for essential purchases and other needs
