Measures taken by SNEHA as response to COVID-19
Mumbai
In the current crisis of COVID-19 pandemic, the immunity of our beneficiaries is even more critical to prevent them from getting infected. We continue to work on improving the health of our beneficiaries, with special focus on pregnant women, malnourished children and anaemic women and adolescents. The fear of contracting COVID-19 and staying indoors in congested homes has also seen increased stress levels and the need for mental health interventions as well as addressing domestic violence.
SNEHA works in slum communities in Mumbai (Dharavi, Wadala, Govandi, Mankhurd, Malvani, Kurla, Kandivali), Thane, Kalyan-Dombivali, Vasai-Virar, Mira-Bhayandar, Ulhasnagar and Bhiwandi-Nizampur directly reaching about 300,000 women and children and indirectly reaching over 1 million population. Currently the teams are working from home over phone/online to address the COVID-19 crisis through more than 8000 community-based volunteers as well as continuing our regular work on health and safety.
