The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown have had a devastating impact on Aurangabad district, causing widespread economic hardship, loss of self-esteem, and
restricted freedom. Individuals who previously earned a livelihood through daily work as drivers, plumbers, launderers, barbers, and others were forced to remain confined in their homes, their income abruptly halted. This economic crisis was further exacerbated for those who lost their jobs due to factory and office closures, leading to significant anxiety and stress.
Additionally, with limited resources and restricted access to essential supplies, even the most judicious use of rations proved insufficient to sustain families. Recognizing the acute need for food security, LSF provided essential ration kits to 790 families between March and October 2020.
The resources for the ration kits were provided through crowdfunding where people donated either money or materials (groceries). This timely intervention ensured that families had access to essential food supplies, mitigating the impact of the pandemic on their basic needs and wellbeing.
LSF, through its collaboration with a network of organizations in Aurangabad, facilitated the safe and dignified return of over 1,000 migrant workers to their home states of
Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. This initiative provided much-needed relief to individuals who were stranded in the city away from their families and familiar
surroundings, fostering a sense of stability and normalcy during a time of great uncertainty.
Recognizing the critical need for oxygen support, particularly in rural hospitals with limited resources, LSF had actively engaged in the distribution of oxygen concentrators.
This initiative provides a vital lifeline to those battling COVID-19, ensuring they receive the essential medical care needed for their recovery.
For those in quarantine, LSF had diligently distributed home quarantine kits to individuals isolated due to COVID-19. These kits, containing essential vitamins and other
necessary supplies, aim to alleviate the physical and emotional challenges associated with isolation. By providing these essential resources, LSF empowers individuals to navigate their recovery with greater comfort and support.
