JAMMU: Hartal for Harmony – A Human Rights welfare organization of J&K which is an amalgam of various advocacy and non – Government organizations, activists, researchers, lawyers and writers based in India appreciates the efforts of People’s Hut Foundation (NGO) who are providing cooked meals to the Covid 19 patients and their families, they also provide ration to people who can cook food at their homes.
HFH President Advocate Nikhil Padha said the NGO is distributing food and other essentials at the doorsteps of covid patients and their families. He added in the wake of this deadly pandemic and the lockdown induced by it, our first thoughts were about how to reach out to covid affected families and other underprivileged communities. Topmost in our minds were the remotest regions of our operational areas and urban slums, their survival, safety and their health. But PHF efforts, along with its partner NGOs, have been concentrated on reaching all households as far as possible, with basic Food, Health and hygiene kits for covid 19 affected patients and their families.
“In a country like India, the NGO’s like People’s Hut Foundation bridge the gap between the government and the population of the country. It identifies the needs of the community and provides its support and services, even in the most untouched and marginalized areas, where the government is not able to reach.”Advocate Nikhil said.
“Non-governmental organizations coming forward to help covid 19 patients and their families and to fight the pandemic and extend help by providing food, medicines and other essentials at their cost deserves all appreciation There is no doubt that the grit and resilience shown by the civil society crusaders against COVID-19 is paramount. Though we are yet to see the end of the pandemic, it is key that the civil society organisations collaborate with the government in a constructive and meaningful way to build back better, and enhance India’s preparedness to face any threat on the development of its society and people.
