Calcutta Kids 2021 Annual Report
Dear friends of Calcutta Kids,
In the first half of 2021, the Covid-19 Delta variant engulfed India and caused a level of turmoil that no one saw coming.
We at Calcutta Kids had no choice but to throw our playbook out the window. Instead, we asked ourselves: What does the Fakir Bagan community need most right now, and what can we do to meet that need?
-
They needed to survive. So we provided food and, when the time came, coordinated vaccinations for our staff and beneficiaries.
-
Despite the pandemic chaos, they still needed to have healthy pregnancies, safe deliveries, and guidance to support their children’s well-being and growth. So we began providing virtual medical care and counseling, and coordinated in-person care when necessary.
-
They needed emotional support. So our community health workers served as a lifeline.
Calcutta Kids showed that our entire team can pivot when faced with even the most daunting challenges and uncertainty.
