As many Nepali people are suffering from the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic,ICDR International has provided $25,000 USD funds through its COVID-19 Emergency Relief Program to respond to urgent humanitarian needs of Nepali people, especially the underprivileged section of society.
The ICDR has been working in collaboration with local governments,civil society organizations,and communities to provide food, shelter,financial assistance,and medical supplies.The COVID-19 outbreak presents health,economic disparities,and financial challenges for underprivileged populations,which has disproportionately affected communities of Dalits,Madhesi,ethnic minorities, migrants, and extremely marginalized populations in Nepal.
During the COVID-19 pandemic crisis,ICDR International recognized that its absolute priority is to enforce inclusive and anti-discrimination laws to ensure equal access to the resources needed for recovery for all people,especially the underprivileged sections of society who have historically faced systematic social exclusion,exploitation,and discrimination based on caste,race, religion,gender,disability,sexual orientation,and/or origin.The recent facts show that underprivileged people have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis in Nepal.
We stand with the people and Government of Nepal during this difficult time to combat the COVID-19 and for their visibility.
