Rouble Nagi Art Foundation contributes towards the second wave of the pandemic

 

Rouble Nagi Art Foundation (RNAF), a Mumbai-based NGO working towards education, women empowerment, and employment, is known for conducting regular workshops for sanitation and hygiene. The foundation has contributed significantly towards the Covid-19 medical relief for children in the slums and the villages of India. During the first wave of the 2020 pandemic, RNAF reached out to over 3 lakh families across India and is now actively stepping forward to contribute and make a difference in the second wave of Covid-19. 

Organising relief camps in the localities, conducting regular tests and temperature checks and ensuring that the children in the slums get proper medical care, RNAF is doing its bit for society. Nurturing and protecting children, the RNAF team lays special focus on forming relief squads and sending help wherever required.

RNAF's skill centre has been producing and distributing over 40,000 masks in the neighbouring villages and slums while educating people about the significance of staying protected, especially now more than ever. They are regularly distributing sanitary napkins to women in slum dying lockdown as it is very crucial at this stage.

Stepping up as a responsible leader, Rouble Nagi, Founder, RNAF, said, "We, at RNAF, generally take care of education and employment on a larger scale.  But given the country's current state concerning the pandemic-- we are monitoring the areas where we are working in the slums and the villages, ensuring they are covid-free and nobody is affected. If we observe that people are affected and need medical help, then we provide them medical assistance immediately. Covid is not just spreading amongst elders but also amongst children, and since we have a lot of children learning with us, we are making sure that they are healthy, and so far, all the children who are learning with us are absolutely doing well!"
