NGO Oxfam India Helps Daily Wagers In Tamil Nadu With Cooked Meals During COVID-19 Lockdown

The lockdown has hit migrant labourers across the country, particularly a large number of daily wagers who are clueless about how to put food on their table and feed their children and thus to ensure no one sleeps hungry, NGO Oxfam India is distributing cooked meals among migrant labourers

In Uttar Pradesh, NGO Oxfam and government officials have taken it upon themselves to demonstrate to the people the kind of precautions that they need to take on the ground to protect themselves from COVID-19

With businesses and construction sites shut, India's Informal sector has taken a massive hit. Lakhs of migrant and daily wage labourers are without jobs all across the country with no money and food. Organisations like Oxfam India are providing respite to the most affected by the lockdown: Migrant Labourers.

At a time when a lockdown is in place, daily wage labourers, construction workers and those who earn their daily expenses are finding it difficult to make ends meet. Cooking a meal is a luxury for most of them, which is why organisations like OXFAM India are stepping in to distribute cooked food

Lockdown amidst Covid-19 has been rather tough for many sections of the society, especially the migrant workers. They are left with no jobs and food. In Kerala, while the government has rolled out several schemes for them, NGOs like Oxfam India are identifying groups and providing the essentials.
