Temporary Shelter for homeless and destitute people

We approached Sirkali Muncipality to arrange facilities for the accommodation of homeless, beggars, and destitute people staying on the street and living on roadsides.

  • Out of 87 persons, 2 were female, 85 were male; one is below 18 years age and 12 persons were aged over 60 years. One woman with an infant child was sent to a caregiver home.
  • For more than 90 plus days, we provided them with food and shelter with at most care, and guidance to rehabilitate them into mainstream life after the lockdown is lifted.
  • We also provided multiple use cloth masks (times), cloths (inner wear, lungi, towel, bed sheets and bags) and toothbrush, paste, soaps for bathing and washing clothes.

Job placement and supports for self - employment

Throughout the Camp, we closely studied each one of them and documented their profile inorder to identify their talents and cross-check with others on the same.

• Out of 87 persons, we have created job opportunities for 40 persons (46 %) now and placed them with an average salary of Rs.10,000/- per month with free of cost food and accommodation by the employers.
