Unexpected conditions in March

Daily routines in our Usthi programmes in India and Nepal were unexpectedly overshadowed by the Corona Virus disease at the end of February.

Whilst writing these lines, all our schools and Usthi Centres in India and Nepal are closed. The salaries of approximately 400 employees and overhead costs, nonetheless, still have to be paid. The Usthi Hospital and the Tribal Health Centre in Somagiri continue to put in enormous efforts into the maintenance of public health in the local community.

We cannot stand up to these new challenges alone. Please help us to ensure the survival of Usthi so that we shall be able to continue to work towards more fairness and less discrimination in the future. Thank you for standing by us and supporting Usthi.
