The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our society, particularly impacting marginalized communities and healthcare systems. Ekta Foundation stepped up to address these challenges with a comprehensive response focused on public health, economic security, and community resilience.

Prioritizing Public Health

Recognizing the critical role of hygiene in preventing the spread of the virus, Ekta Foundation implemented initiatives to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions in healthcare facilities and communities. By providing essential supplies like sanitizers, soap, and masks, we empowered individuals to protect themselves and their loved ones.

To combat the alarming rates of child mortality due to diarrheal diseases and pneumonia, we launched awareness campaigns on the importance of handwashing and hygiene practices. Our efforts aimed to create a lasting impact on child health and well-being.

Supporting Vulnerable Communities

The pandemic disproportionately affected daily wage earners and informal workers. Ekta Foundation established community kitchens to provide nutritious meals to those in need, ensuring their basic survival needs were met.

Furthermore, we extended support to isolation centers by providing essential supplies and creating safe environments for those affected by the virus.

Building Resilience

In the face of economic hardship, Ekta Foundation continued its commitment to women’s empowerment by providing skill training and livelihood opportunities. By equipping women with the tools to become self-sufficient, we helped them build resilience and contribute to their families’ recovery.Through these concerted efforts, Ekta Foundation emerged as a leading force in the fight against COVID-19, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to the well-being of vulnerable communities. Our response to the pandemic highlights our commitment to holistic development and our position as a Top NGO in India.
