The successive Covid waves and their accompanying lockdowns have not only loomed under an overarching dread vis-a-vis the pandemic, but have also endured lesser access to food. Daily wage labourers remain the most affected in this regard, and it is especially for them and their families that Khimsar Foundation plans to distribute food packets with essential commodities until the world is once again pandemic-free.

Project Jeevandan-2 was launched to address the growing issue of the Lumpy Virus disease in cattle. This project provided immediate first aid kits, medical assistance, and education to rural communities to help them combat the disease. The initiative focused on not only saving the livestock but also educating farmers on proper care techniques to prevent the spread of the virus.

The scorching summer heat in the Thar desert causes mercurial rises to degrees as high up as 50 and as low as 1 degree Celsius. A life in such weather conditions is challenging to sustain, and a potential hazard here is the susceptibility of rural household fires due to the dried hay used for thatching and storage purposes. Besides, the prevalence of gas, wooden and earthern stoves exposes these rural households to hazardous fires that are already poor in terms of structural quality. For any householders that bear the misfortune of a roof breakdown or domestic fire hazard, Khimsar Foundation commits itself to a one-time monetary support for repair and recuperation purposes.

Challenges of water scarcity strengthen for obvious reasons in arid and semi arid desert belts. Many more fortunate inhabitants of the Thar store rainwater in large in-house wells. However, less fortunate families, who cannot afford these household luxuries are dependent on collecting water from nearby sources, craning their necks under heavy burdens of 5-8 litres of water that they walk with, balancing on their heads. Recognising this daily struggle around the basic commodity of water, Annadata plans to reaching out to such families and equipping them with bigger mud pots and steel canisters to retain larger volumes of water, along with a proper fitting stand for maximum safety and convenience.

Unlike many parts of India that receive better humanitarian support for its physically handicapped populace, rural Rajasthan lacks the most basic of resources to support its citizens suffering from physical disabilities. While we might not be able to alter the misfortune of a person battling physical disabilities, we at Khimsar Foundation have initiated project SAARTHI to equip handicapped persons with a tricycle and other important equipment in order to enable their day to day mobility, thereby reducing one of the infinite disjuncts that their fate has descended upon them. After all, every person is entitled to live a dignified and independent life, irrespective of their handicaps.
Marriage Support To Girls Above Age 18 Whose Father Is No More And Brother Is A Minor In Rajasthan, beera means brother, the one who can be relied upon. Rural parts of western Rajasthan bear a socio-economic disadvantage in comparison to the rest of the state due to its starker landscape and harsh weather conditions. As a result of their accompanying economical limitations, significant strength of its population struggles to make its day to day ends meet. Added to that is the financial pressure wielded by sociocultural norms on the family members of prospective brides. After all, undertaking the costs of a wedding is a major life expense, thereby factoring itself into the prevalent reluctance suffered by the society towards the girl child. Families steeped in traditional patriarchy, where the male members continue to be the sole bread winners are oftentimes seen lacking them due to a death or misfortune. In these cases, Khimsar Foundation indends on stepping in as a BEERA, in order to substantiate marriages by filling in for the family’s missing financial providers. By contributing each such family a sum of INR 21,000/-, Khimsar Foundation joins hands in contributing to a society where it considers every person as its own family member.

Sanitary Pads Distribution Despite counting amongst the world’s newly emergent superpowers, India still ranks as 131 out of 189 countries as per the 2020 Human Development Index. One of the most elemental concerns plaguing modern India today is its failure to provide basic menstrual care access to its rural sectors. In other words, the twin factors of lack of awareness and financial backing has led to millions of rural women nation-wide to remain in the darkness. Most of them resort to using non-sterilised pieces of cloth multiple times during their menstruation cycles, thereby causing serious health risks. One National Survey Report indicates 64% of women having reported that their families cannot afford to purchase sanitary pads. Keeping these disparities between needs and means in mind, Annadata has undertaken the challenge of reaching every single girl and woman lacking access to sanitary pads, and commits itself to facilitate their basic right to menstrual health care. In the past two decades, we all have realised the importance of education in our lives. But due to inopportune circumstances, many children are unable to fulfil their dream to win BIG.
