During the last 21 days of the nationwide Covid lockdown, Aide et Action rescued as many as 1600 migrants stranded across the many cities after receiving request calls, appeal videos, and references from various Civil Society Organization networks. We have also reached out to 245 migrants of other states in Odisha on request of government officials and CSOs of concerned states.
Prior to the nation-wide lockdown to curb the spread of Corona, our facilitators of Child Care Learning Centres and inter-state education volunteers have conducted awareness programmes for migrant workers on precautionary measures, maintaining social distancing, personal hygiene and keeping the living condition clean etc.
