Despite the effects of Covid-19 and the difficulties of 2020, we are pleased to reflect on the positive impact we could make in 2020 thanks to the generous giving of supporters.
Although usual activities had to come to a halt in 2020, Helping Point was extremely active through the pandemic serving those in need. St Simon’s School and the church buildings became centres to provide essential food and supplies, and St Simon’s even became a quarantine centre for returning migrant workers for a couple of months. Thanks to your generous giving we were able to distribute groceries and thousands of meals to those who had lost incomes overnight.
The Helping Point India team took advantage of the gap in regular programming to carry out a number of necessary construction projects. At St Simon’s, this meant a brand new 3-storey, 600+ capacity school classroom block and an impressive new boundary wall. At Jhola Children’s Home, Helping Point was able to complete construction of a new girls’ dormitory, with room for 40+ children.
Thank you so much for your kind giving and support.
