Covid Response


SMTA is collaborating with Digital Saarthi, to empower community and front line workers (like ASHA), to deal with covid challenge in coming months.  We have started a Milaap crowdfunding campaign to this purpose. (link)
This is a six month pilot project to empower community level workers (ASHA etc.) through training and relevant supplies (mask, PPE etc.) in collaboration with Digital Saarthi. Experts believe that Corona will shift from epidemic to endemic with seasonal flare ups from time to time. From urban centres, it will sneak into rural areas. A community which is aware and community workers who are well trained and equipped are going to be the sheet anchor of our agrarian economy in coming decades. Abhinav Rawat, our new volunteer is coordinating this initiative.
