POUL DUE JENSEN FOUNDATION INCLUSION Assistance for India’s vulnerable groups In many countries, vulnerable population groups are at risk because of various lockdown measures. In India, the Poul Due Jensen Community Engagement Grant has brought relief to several vulneral groups and support for front line personnel. 1 Green Friends, a group of 1350 sanitation workers from highly underprivileged backgrounds, collect household waste from peri-urban localities in Chennai and Rameswaram (both declared as Red Zones for COVID-19) in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. To support them in this crisis, the grant has provided safety gear that will protect them from any COVID-19 contaminated waste they might be cleaning. 2 PUPS, Karapakkam School, Chennai is a school that Grundfos India has been associated with for the last two years. Due to the lockdown, the parents are out of jobs and are struggling to source essential commodities needed for preparing two meals a day at home. NalandaWay Foundation delivered dry ration and grocery kits to the families of children at the school. 3 Hand in Hand India provided personal protective equipment and other safety gear to protect police and health workers from infection. Given the shortage of these safety equipment – it is even more necessary to ensure they receive a good supply to protect the medical staff that tend to the patients and the police officers who are deployed to protect the supply lines and keeping public order during the pandemic.
