Russia COVID-19 Relief
Project summary
In Russia, the COVID-19 lockdown impacted the majority of the population similarly to other countries. However, international students and migrant workers were among the hardest hit. Unable to work or purchase essential food items, many faced heightened panic. Khalsa Aid mobilised two teams of volunteers in St Petersburg and Moscow to procure and distribute the food parcels to the vulnerable and needy.
How we have helped
During the lockdown, volunteers worked tirelessly to procure, prepare and deliver the food parcels to vulnerable households from April until the end of June 2020.
Impact so far
One of Khalsa Aid's primary areas of focus is providing immediate relief during natural disasters and conflicts. When disasters like earthquakes, floods, or tsunamis strike, Khalsa Aid is often among the first organizations on the ground, distributing food, water, medical supplies, and shelter to affected populations.
