RDMM lead the COVID-19 awareness initiatives and relief operations for the marginalized FSW community and their families in the district through pro-active collaboration on the field with the district authorities. We mobilized significant resources from local donors and key stakeholders such as district authorities and NGOs [GIVE India, Swasthi Health Catalyst, SVP Hyderabad, Ashraya Hastha Trust, Swathi Mahila Sangh].
A total of 684 ration kits, 524 hygiene kits, 250 home quarantine kits were distributed to the community. With support from GIVE India, we also arranged for 15 oxygen concentrators and plasma transfusion for 80 FSWs or their family member, infected with COVID-19.
RDMM also ensured home delivery of ART medicines to the HIV positive community members during the lockdown.
