Every day I wake up to more heart-wrenching news! As we continue our fight against COVID19, another fight has begun, to survive through hundreds of kilometres of a walk, battling hunger and poverty to reach the distant villages, hoping for a considerably better future. The last few weeks have been all about two things - the fear of contracting COVID19, or dying of hunger! We all know them, they co-existed with us for years, helping us build the community around us but today due to loss of livelihood and further extension of nationwide lockdown they are finding it impossible to survive in a city they once considered their home. The total number of migrant workers who died, trying desperately to reach their villages is increasing every day. This number will simply increase if nothing is done to ensure they reach their villages safely. At United Way Mumbai, we are evaluating emergency response measures to help ease the journey these migrant workers are undertaking. We will be working with other charity organisations to set up relief camps on various routes for adequate food and medical aid, while simultaneously arranging for transport and help with the necessary documentation so people can get home safely. They need our help now more than ever, let us show our support and let these migrants know that they are not alone.
