Chiranthana conducted a food – ration kit and medical kit distribution drive at Gubbi taluk of Tumkur district.

Due to Covid 19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, many families which are below the poverty line are struggling to earn their daily bread.

One of the worst-hit are the families which have children with disabilities who need rations and medicines regularly.

Chiranthana had approached the Azim Premji Foundation to provide the funds to help these families with basic food and medicines kits.

We thank the Azim Premji Foundation for choosing Chiranthana for identifying 150 families of children with disabilities who are below the poverty line at Gubbi taluk Tumkur district and to distribute Necessary medicines to these kids along with basic food items like groceries & cooking oil. Along with the above Hygiene, kits were also part of the kit.

We are grateful to the Education department of Gubbi taluk and the DDPI of Tumkur who have stood with us and organised the whole Distribution activities with their staff and senior officers.
