Summer Newsletter 2020

Warm greetings!
We hope that you and your family are well.

The effects of the pandemic have overwhelmed global health systems and caused many businesses to shut down. The poorest and most vulnerable are being affected disproportionately, with women and children bearing the heaviest brunt, but your support has helped us

to make a difference. In response to this crisis, through your generous donations, PRASAD Australia has contributed over $22,000 to support PRASAD Chikitsa’s efforts in the the Tansa Valley, India.

Your donations have supported the delivery of vital medical services, the production and distribution of more than 1,300 face masks to community members, the delivery of nearly 3,600 food packages to 2,240 Adivasi families, and the planting of more than 7,000 trees.

Just as this crisis has inspired many of us to refocus on the things that matter most to us personally, at PRASAD Australia we are also using this time as an opportunity to bring that same focus to our fund raising efforts to ensure that we can continue to provide valuable support to the important work of PRASAD Chikitsa over the long-term.

Thank you for your ongoing donations.
I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year. Stay well.
Warm regards,
Susanna Mason
