Latest KISES newsletter: Emergency Covid-19 response

KISES Emergency Health Relief Programme

Please click on the link below to our most recent KISES newsletter to find out more about how our volunteers are responding to the Covid-19 pandemic in India.

We urgently need donations and funding to help us carry out our Emergency Health Relief Programme in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, where slum dwellers are dying not only due to the killer coronavirus bug, but also malnutrition and starvation.

KISES charity believes that all lives matter and will do everything possible to protect the most impoverished and vulnerable members of society during this pandemic crisis and beyond.

IT was such an important day for the long-suffering people of the Vijayawada dump as we launched our KISES mobile health camp.

Our Dr Reddy reported that every adult and child he examined was in poor health and his first patient, Maryamma, was clearly struggling with a fever.

Free medicines were provided to all, including vitamin shots, food parcels were handed out and some new donated clothes presented to the younger children.

Inaugural KISES Mobile Health Camp at Vijayawada Dump

This camp will be the first of many and we are extremely grateful to our local doctor for leaving his practice and travelling out to the dump to help these needy, under-nourished rag-pickers of all ages.

Please donate to my personal GoFundMe page (www.gofundme.com/changing_lives_in_india) or to our new KISES India website (www.kisesindia.com/donate) to help us afford running costs for this, and other life-changing programmes.
