India is in the midst of the worst health and humanitarian crisis it has seen in a century. The second wave has had a negative effect on all, regardless of socioeconomic class. However, the fate of children from low-income families, many of which have lost or are about to lose parental support, is dire.

SOS mothers and coworkers are working together to help children who are in need.

Children whose parents are covid positive and receiving medication are put in Short-term care, while children who have lost their parents are placed in Long-term care in SOS Children's Villages of India.

As the second wave of Covid 19 hits India, children are at much greater risk. Most of us are worried about being infected with Covid-19, worried about succumbing to the virus, worried about an infected parent, and worried about losing a loved one to the virus. In these hard times, SOS Children's Villages of India shares its sympathy with the people in their struggle against COVID-19, as well as our commitment to reach out and assist as best we can. SOS Children's Villages of India has developed different strategies to cater to the emerging health and humanitarian crisis among the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children, families, and communities while ensuring that all the children under our care remain healthy.
