SevaChild, India manages one of India’s fastest-growing humanitarian networks,
providing life-sustaining food rations to thousands of impoverished families
now at risk of starvation due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Since March 2022 Sevachild has partnered with El Shaddai Charitable Trust and has come a long way in doing humanitarian work for the poor and needy people in Goa in distributing grocery kits to the needy, especially those who live in slums without adequate resources, eating barely one meal a day.

In Goa most of the poor and underprivileged families stay in unhygienic conditions. The approximate population is around 80,000. There is hardly any income as most of the females work as housemaids and daily wage earners. The males mostly work as some daily wage laborers on the construction sites. Majority of the slum people beg on the bus stands and railway station. Till date Sevachild has supported El Shaddai in distributing 454 grocery kits for the needy.

The ration kits provided came as a blessing in disguise to all the marginalized, street, and slum dwellers in these challenging times.
